摘要
非裔美国女作家杰米辛在《破碎的地球》三部曲中先后塑造了两个科技帝国形象,呈现了一个科技恶托邦的景象.本文借助福柯和阿甘本的生命政治理论解读小说中的科技异化主题,指出小说揭示了未来社会受科技异化影响的后人类等边缘人所面临的"单向度"和"赤裸生命"的生存困境,由此批判了极权社会通过生物技术和伪科学话语控制个体的新形式.同时,小说对后人类女性借助技术赋能进行自我救赎的理想化表征,寄托了对女性作为主体参与构建美丽新世界的美好愿景.通过勾勒后人类的生存境况,作家表达了对于科技发展两面性的反思,这对于反思日益科技化的当代社会具有一定的现实意义.
Abstract
In The Broken Earth trilogy,African American female writer N.K.Jemisin has successively crafted two images of technoscientific empires,portraying a technoscientific dystopian future.Drawing on Foucault's and Agamben's theory of biopolitics,this paper interprets the theme of scientific and technological alienation,and finds that the novel reveals the survival predicament of"one-dimension"or"bare life"faced by marginalized people such as the posthuman who are affected by scientific and technological alienation in the future society,and thus criticizes the new forms of controlling individuals in totalitarian society through biotechnology and the discourse of pseudoscience.Additionally,the idealized representation of the posthuman female to redeem themselves with the help of technology in the novel embodies Jemisin's good wish of women as active participants and the subjects in the construction of a brave new world.The author reflects deeply on the dual nature of technological progress by outlining the living situation of the posthuman,offering valuable insights for our increasingly technologically driven society.
