Plants and Their Narratives in Garden in the Dunes from the Perspective of Material Ecocriticism
In Garden in the Dunes by contemporary native American writer Leslie Marmon Silko,a large number of plant texts break the silent object image inherent in matter.They not only show the dynamic textual narrative as the environmental background of the protagonist's cross-domain travel but also,in advancing the narrative,imply Silko's ecological warning about environmental degradation and her humanistic concern about spiritual crises.This paper,utilizing the perspective of material ecocriticism,focuses on the material writing of plants,exploring how plants demonstrate their trans-temporal and trans-spatial narrative abilities and the meaning generation of interactivity between humans and matter.It explains the relationship between plants and the Indian traditional view of nature,ecological plunder driven by anthropocentrism,and ecological redemption under the concept of world integration.
