Rougier de la Bergerie’s Bucolic Poetry and the Nineteenth-Century French Discourse on Climate and Deforestation 吕吉尔·德·拉·伯格热的田园诗歌与十九世纪法国关于气候和森林砍伐的论述

ABSTRACT This essay examines the bucolic poetry of the French agronomist Jean-Baptiste Rougier de la Bergerie (1762–1836). It presents his views on the value of scientific poetry; situates his writing within the contemporary French discourse on deforestation and climate instability; and shows how his Églogues bucoliques clamoured for action to protect the nation’s woods and thereby regulate meteorological conditions across the land. In this regard Rougier criticised the ignorance and excessive influence of the French Academies in Paris and granted an important voice to rural experiences and perspectives. He therefore decentred traditional sites of authority and defended the value of a horizontal information network offering more empirical and local forms of knowledge.
本文考察了法国农学家让-巴蒂斯特·鲁吉尔·德·拉·伯格热里(1762-1836)的田园诗歌。阐述了他对科学诗歌价值的看法;将他的作品置于当代法国关于森林砍伐和气候不稳定的话语中;并展示了他的Églogues田园如何呼吁采取行动保护国家的森林,从而调节整个土地的气象条件。在这方面,鲁盖尔批评了巴黎法国学院的无知和过度影响,并给予了农村经验和观点的重要发言权。因此,他去中心化了传统的权威场所,捍卫了横向信息网络的价值,提供了更多的经验和地方形式的知识。

‘Just a Dumb Bunny’: The Conventions and Rebellions of the Cutified Feminised Animal “只是一只笨兔子”:被驯化的雌性动物的传统与反叛

ABSTRACT Cuteness is primarily associated with a trivial superficiality, so it is perhaps no surprise to find it a relatively ignored aesthetic within environmental thought, which tends to favour seriousness and complexity. The emerging field of cute studies has, however, begun to trouble such associations. This article offers an environmental lens on cute studies by taking, as its case study, the cutified, feminised animal and developing Sianne Ngai’s discourse on the power dynamics inherent to cuteness. Examining vivid examples from Hello Kitty to D. H. Lawrence’s poems, I argue that cuteness objectifies and ‘others’ female and animal identities, often to violent effect. Given the cutified, feminised animal’s supposed passivity, what resistance can be expected? Analysing Aase Berg’s bloodthirsty guinea-pig poems, I argue that horror tropes undertaken in a camp, comedic style serve to expose the violence within cuteness, generating an important opportunity for an environmental reframing of the cute.
可爱主要与琐碎的肤浅联系在一起,所以在环境思想中,它是一种相对被忽视的美学,往往倾向于严肃和复杂,这也许并不奇怪。然而,新兴的可爱研究领域已经开始给这种联系带来麻烦。这篇文章提供了一个关于可爱研究的环境视角,作为它的案例研究,被驯化的,雌性化的动物,并发展了Sianne Ngai关于可爱固有的权力动力学的论述。从凯蒂猫(Hello Kitty)到d·h·劳伦斯(D. H. Lawrence)的诗歌,我研究了生动的例子,认为可爱将女性和动物的身份和“他人”物化,往往会产生暴力效果。考虑到雌性化的动物被认为是被动的,还能有什么阻力呢?通过分析Aase Berg的那些嗜血的豚鼠诗,我认为在一个营地中进行的恐怖比喻,喜剧风格有助于揭露可爱中的暴力,为可爱的环境重构创造了一个重要的机会。

‘The Rain Coming Down in Drenching curtains’: Reading for the Pluvial in the Climate Change Fiction of Chang-Rae Lee and Jane Rawson “雨落在湿透的窗帘上”:阅读李昌来和简·罗森的气候变化小说中的雨

ABSTRACT Theorisations of climate change literature rethink realism, the status of human/nonhuman relations and the agency of the landscape. This paper uses Sarah Nuttall’s concept of the pluvial mode to examine how these theoretical prescriptions function in contemporary novels to create conditions of refuge in spaces that have become largely uninhabitable for the majority of a population through climate change. In Jane Rawson’s A Wrong Turn at the Office of Unmade Lists (2013) and Chang-Rae Lee’s On Such a Full Sea (2014) rainstorms instigate conditions hospitable to refuge and immerse the text in a drawn-out connection between that concept and watery images, beings and spaces. The novels locate refuge in the realm of affect or condition, and in so doing, create a disruptive element of possibility in otherwise apocalyptic narratives in which there seems to be no escape from precarity and uncertainty.
气候变化文学的理论化重新思考了现实主义、人类/非人类关系的地位以及景观的作用。本文使用Sarah Nuttall的雨淋模式概念来研究这些理论处方如何在当代小说中发挥作用,在气候变化导致大多数人口无法居住的空间中创造避难条件。在简·罗森(Jane Rawson)的《未列清单办公室的错误转弯》(2013)和李昌来(Chang-Rae Lee)的《如此完整的大海》(2014)中,暴风雨营造了适宜避雨的环境,并使文本沉浸在这个概念与水的图像、生物和空间之间的持久联系中。这些小说在情感或条件的领域中找到了避难所,这样做,在其他启示录叙事中创造了一种破坏性的可能性元素,在这种叙事中,似乎无法逃离不稳定和不确定性。

A Biosemiotic Reading of J.M.G. Le Clézio’s Fiction: (Re-) Envisioning the Complexity of Other-Than-Human Semiosis and Trans-Specific Communication J.M.G. Le clacimzio小说的生物符号学解读:(再)超越人类的符号学与跨特定交流的复杂性

ABSTRACT Delving into biosemiotic and endosemiotic theory, this transdisciplinary analysis of Le Clézio’s fiction illustrates how the Franco-Mauritian author undermines the dichotomous thinking that pits the human semiotic agent against soulless automata whose sounds and gestures are nothing but the insignificant product of an internal machinery. Le Clézio takes aim at much of Western philosophy and traditional linguistic theory, which tend to undermine the importance of other-than-human semiosis entirely, in his call for a re-evaluation of the complexity of the signs that are endlessly being conceived, transmitted and interpreted by and between various species. Similar to the founding father of Biosemiotics Jakob von Uexküll, Le Clézio implores us to reinvigorate our dulled senses in the postmodern world in order to (re-) establish a sensorial connection to the ‘score of nature’, thereby enabling us to catch a glimpse of the billions of other biosemiosic threads in the web of life.
通过对生物符号学和内符号学理论的深入研究,本文对这位法国-毛里求斯裔作家的小说进行了跨学科的分析,阐释了他是如何打破人类符号学主体与没有灵魂的自动机之间的二分法思维的,后者的声音和手势只不过是内部机器的微不足道的产物。Le clacimzio将矛头指向了西方哲学和传统语言学理论,这些理论倾向于完全破坏非人类符号学的重要性,他呼吁重新评估符号的复杂性,这些符号不断地被不同物种所构思、传播和解释。与生物符号学之父Jakob von uexk ll类似,Le clsamzio恳求我们在后现代世界中重新激活我们迟钝的感官,以便(重新)建立与“自然分数”的感官联系,从而使我们能够瞥见生命之网中数十亿其他生物符号学线索。

Mass Tourism, Ecocriticism, and Mills & Boon Romances (1970s-1980s) 大众旅游、生态批评与米尔斯和布恩浪漫主义(1970 -1980年代)
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-10-02 DOI: 10.1080/14688417.2023.2202190

ABSTRACT At first sight, Mills & Boon romances may seem to bear little or no relation to environmentalism; however, critical comments about the negative impact of sun, sea and sand tourism are not uncommon in the pages of these novels. The tourism boom of the 1960s and 1970s led to increasing concern about its effects on the environment. Using a historical approach, I focus on several romance novels set in southern Europe, the area attracting the highest rate of visitors at that time and visibly suffering the consequences of unbridled construction. Some of the tools of econarratology and cognitive ecocriticism serve to provide further insights into the novels.
乍一看,米尔斯和布恩的爱情故事似乎与环保主义几乎没有关系;然而,对阳光、海洋和沙滩旅游负面影响的批评在这些小说中并不少见。20世纪60年代和70年代的旅游业繁荣导致人们越来越关注其对环境的影响。用历史的方法,我把重点放在几本以南欧为背景的浪漫小说上,这个地区在当时吸引了最高的游客率,显然遭受了肆无忌惮的建设的后果。生态叙事学和认知生态批评的一些工具有助于进一步了解小说。

Editorial: On Cuteness, Shock, Romance, and Refuge 社论:关于可爱、震惊、浪漫和庇护
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-10-02 DOI: 10.1080/14688417.2022.2229035

From the politics of cuteness and the pluvial conditions of refuge to the ecological potency of shock and Romance, the seven essays gathered in this open edition of Green Letters incorporate a wide spectrum of methodologies and materials that strike new and at times unexpected grounds in ecocritical scholarship. While several essays in this issue build strongly upon established tranches of ecocritical thought in their examination of arboreal landscapes, biosemiotics, and historical relations between poetry and science, other articles ask us to step off the beaten track and to attune to distinctly unconventional and understudied repositories of ecological thought. Alongside the familiar ecological matter of trees, storms and cityscapes, we are invited to contemplate the mute figure of Hello Kitty and to consider the ecocritical potential of the popular Romance imaginaries of Mills & Boon. While these materials might not initially strike us as the usual fodder of environmental thought Green Letters has always been a space that seeks to foster new directions in the field, and in this issue we continue our commitment to support innovative research that shocks us out of disciplinary complacency and destabilises entrenched knowledge hierarchies. Opening this issue, Keith Moser’s article ‘A Biosemiotic Reading of J.M.G. Le Clézio’s Fiction: (Re-) Envisioning the Complexity of Other-Than-Human Semiosis and TransSpecific Communication’ provides a rich reading of the score of nonhuman melodies that mark the Nobel Laureate’s novelistic oeuvre. Where Le Clézio’s work has drawn attention from scholars for its sensuous engagement with the nonhuman world, Moser’s analysis takes us deeper into ‘a world comprised of overlapping semiotic realms’, following the threads of biosemiotic relation as they weave through an expanded web of life. Against dichotomous and hierarchical modes of thought that pit ‘the human semiotic agent against soulless automata’, Moser argues that Le Clézio’s work invites us to tune into the ‘splendor of the semiotic elemental symphony in which we are immersed’. Interrogating Western Humanist traditions that suggest only humans can ‘engage in meaningful semiosis’, Moser’s readings alight upon a dazzling range of ‘active interpreters’, including birds, trees, and bacteria, and draws out their attendant modes of sensorial and chemical communication to contest speciesist perspectives that position the human as the apex communicator. Against readings of nonhuman lives as linguistically impoverished, Moser’s argument invites us to tune into trans-species forms of communication and sense-making, and to consider the role literature plays in connecting us to the sonorous polyphony of the non-human world. The next article takes us from the hierarchies of non-human communication into the politics of cuteness in animal studies.

从可爱的政治和避难所的雨水条件到震撼和浪漫的生态力量,《绿色信件》的开放版收录的七篇文章结合了广泛的方法和材料,在生态批评学术中开辟了新的、有时出乎意料的基础。虽然本期的几篇文章在对树木景观、生物符号学和诗歌与科学之间的历史关系的研究中,强烈地建立在生态批评思想的既定分支上,但其他文章要求我们走出常规的道路,并与明显非常规和未被充分研究的生态思想库保持一致。除了熟悉的树木、风暴和城市景观等生态问题外,我们还被邀请思考沉默的凯蒂猫(Hello Kitty)形象,并考虑米尔斯和布恩(Mills & Boon)流行的浪漫幻想的生态批评潜力。虽然这些材料最初可能不会给我们带来通常的环境思想素材,但《绿信》一直是一个寻求在该领域培养新方向的空间,在这一期中,我们继续致力于支持创新研究,这些研究将使我们摆脱学科的自满,动摇根深蒂固的知识等级。这期的开头,Keith Moser的文章《J.M.G. Le clacimzio小说的生物符号学解读:(重新)设想超越人类的符号学和跨特定交流的复杂性》提供了对这位诺贝尔奖得主小说作品中非人类旋律的丰富解读。Le clacimzio的作品因其与非人类世界的感性接触而引起了学者们的注意,而Moser的分析则将我们更深入地带入“一个由重叠的符号学领域组成的世界”,跟随生物符号学关系的线索,因为它们编织在一个扩大的生命之网中。与“人类符号学代理对抗没有灵魂的自动机”的二分和等级思维模式相反,莫泽认为,Le clacimzio的作品邀请我们进入“我们沉浸其中的符号学元素交响曲的辉煌”。莫泽对西方人文主义传统提出的只有人类才能“参与有意义的符合学”提出质疑,他的解读触及了一系列令人眼花缭乱的“主动诠解者”,包括鸟类、树木和细菌,并引出了它们伴随的感官和化学交流模式,以挑战将人类定位为最高传播者的物种主义观点。莫泽的观点反对将非人类生命解读为语言贫乏,他邀请我们进入跨物种的交流和意义构建形式,并考虑文学在将我们与非人类世界的铿锵复调联系起来方面所扮演的角色。下一篇文章将把我们从非人类交流的等级制度带入动物研究中的可爱政治。在她的文章《只是一只愚蠢的兔子:被驯化的雌性动物的传统与反叛》中,伊莎贝尔·加勒莫尔提供了Hello Kitty的标志性拟人化形象,并提出了一个简单而又具有挑衅性的问题:“为什么Hello Kitty没有嘴巴?”建立在前面对生物符号学的考虑之上,绿色信件:生态批评研究2022,VOL. 26, NO。4,303 - 306 https://doi.org/10.1080/14688417.2022.2229035

In her piece, ‘Just a Dumb Bunny: The Conventions and Rebellions of the Cutified Feminised Animal’, Isabel Galleymore offers u","PeriodicalId":38019,"journal":{"name":"Green Letters","volume":"40 1","pages":"303 - 306"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79512395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT How does one do ‘ecocritical Walter Benjamin’ in the city of London? As a professional flâneur between April 2019 and April 2020, I enlisted the support of Benjamin’s 1940 writings ‘Some Motifs in Baudelaire’ and ‘On the Concept of History’, and four poems from Charles Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal. These lyrics explore entangled spaces between the human and nonhuman world. Benjamin developed two concepts – ‘shock’ and ‘shock experience’ (Chockerlebnis), the latter through his engagement with Baudelaire’s work. Therefore, ecopoetic analyses of Baudelaire’s ‘Correspondances’, ‘Obsession’ (1857), ‘Le Soleil’ and ‘Le Squelette Laboureur’ (1861) aided my analysis of four London sites: Lewisham’s train tracks, Sky Garden, Oxford Circus, and the Charterhouse Museum. Reading the four sites with the aid of Baudelaire’s lyrics allowed an unearthing and creation of dialectical images as they relate to the climate emergency.
一个人如何在伦敦做“生态批评家沃尔特·本雅明”?在2019年4月至2020年4月期间,作为一名专业fl作家,我得到了本雅明1940年的作品《波德莱尔的一些主题》和《历史概念》的支持,以及查尔斯·波德莱尔的《Mal Fleurs du Mal》中的四首诗。这些歌词探索了人类和非人类世界之间纠缠的空间。本雅明发展了两个概念——“冲击”和“冲击体验”(乔克莱布尼斯),后者是通过他与波德莱尔的作品的接触而产生的。因此,对波德莱尔的《通信》、《痴迷》(1857)、《太阳》和《小苦工》(1861)的生态诗学分析有助于我分析伦敦的四个地点:刘易舍姆的火车轨道、空中花园、牛津广场和查特库斯博物馆。借助波德莱尔的歌词阅读这四个地点,可以挖掘和创造与气候紧急情况有关的辩证图像。
