摘要
欧美恶托邦青少年小说与20世纪以来的恶托邦文学传统在"探求更为美好生活"方面一脉相承,却又因其主人公为亲历生态危机与成长转型的青少年而独具特色.书中的青少年为生态灾难之"危"的见证人,更在跨文化的经历中、亲友的支持与信任中、同龄人抉择的影响下,为追求环境正义和社会正义带来"机"遇,成为具有世界性身份的行动者,并在行动中不断建构具有跨国界联通性、关注非人类生命、质疑资本过度积累之非道德性的青少年文化,为世界可持续发展注入青少年所贡献的希望与力量.
Abstract
This essay delves into the unique characteristics of contemporary European and American dystopian young adult fiction,examining its place within the broader tradition of 20th-century dystopian literature that revolves around"pursuing a better life".Unlike their predecessors,these novels feature teenage protagonists who navigate personal growth,transformation,and environmental crises.By witnessing ecological disasters,these young characters assume a crucial role in depicting the"perils"humanity faces.Through exposure to different cultures,support from loved ones,and the influence of peers,they develop into proactive individuals with a global outlook.Their narratives offer"opportunities"to pursue environmental and social justice,forging a transnational youth culture that values non-human life and questions the ethical implications of excessive capitalism.Ultimately,these novels inject hope and empower young people to contribute to the sustainable development of our world.
