摘要/Abstract

摘要： 后殖民生态批评是后殖民主义研究的“生态转向”。后殖民生态批评以后殖民主义和生态批评的哲学理念为其理论基础，其出发和归宿点是后殖民主义研究，是后殖民主义研究的最新发展。本文首先回顾后殖民主义研究；继而分析了后殖民生态批评的生态主义思想、殖民史、生态帝国主义和后殖民主义的理论渊源；指出了后殖民生态批评研究的旨归：追溯种族主义与物种主义的历史关联、挖掘发展与生态环境的悖论、阐释文化文学文本中的动物和环境书写，以揭示全球生态环境恶化的帝国霸权文化根源。后殖民生态批评是一种发展中的全新文化文学批评理论话语，对当下中国平衡生态环境与经济发展等有着重要的启发意义。

Abstract: Postcolonial ecocriticism develops in the ecocrtitical turn of postcolonialism, and as the new development of postcolonialism, it is grounded on postcolonialism and ecocriticism, starting with and ending in the study of postcolonialism. This paper starts with a retrospective analysis of postcolonialism and then it examines postcolonial ecocriticism's theoretical sources in terms of ecological thoughts, history of colonialization, ecological imperialism and postcolonialism. The paper proceeds to summarize three main tasks of postcolonial ecocriticism, namely, tracing the historical connection between racism and speciesism, exposing the paradox between development and conservation of environment, and interpreting animal and environment writings in literary discourses, so as to expose the imperial hegemonic cultural grounds for the global deterioration of ecological environment. Postcolonial ecocriticism is still an emerging cultural and literary theory, and the study of which may bring inspiration for the balance between the conservation of ecological environment and economic development in China.

Key words: postcolonialism, ecocriticism, ecological imperialism, racism, speceisism
