Life Community Writing in"New Weird"Fiction from a New Materialist Perspective:Taking The Southern Reach Trilogy as an Example
In his New Weird masterpiece,The Southern Reach Trilogy,Jeff VanderMeer offers new perspectives on the Cartesian dualism of human/object.He introduces the concept of the"hyperobject"to describe the epistemological transcendence of Area X and its continuous infiltration into the human world,empowered by the power-thing.Through the dual"transcorporeal"entanglements between humans and objects,the novel reconstructs the materiality of the body while dissolving the cultural separation between humans and nature,outlining a trans-corporeal future",a new post-human survival landscape.VanderMeer's new materialist writing examines ontology from the perspective of objects within the context of environmental crises,defining a new paradigm of symbiotic interaction between human and non-human entities.It emphasizes the core essence of the human-nature life community,providing a theoretical framework for reshaping the human/object relationship in the Anthropocene era.
