摘要
西方崇高概念本身带有男权偏见,而且倡导崇高论的两位主要理论家博克与康德都患有厌女症。从朗吉努斯到康德这一阶段关于崇高的理论历史表明了两个关键问题:一是男性的支配感和征服自然的胜利感,二是将女性贬入美的领域并排斥在崇高之外。很多批评家试图从女性主义视角出发匡正崇高,其评论产生了许多新术语:女性崇高、物质崇高、家庭崇高以及母性崇高。所有这些批评家都共同地趋向自然,而不是疏离自然,而且她们都拒绝卷入有支配性的智力行为。从生态女性主义批评反思崇高有助于我们重新思考当代环境写作,有助于我们拒斥摒弃康德的唯心主义,从而使之成为生态批评理论的新型工具。
The western concept of the sublime overflows with masculinist bias and its major theorists,Burke and Kant suffer from misogyny.The history of the sublime from Longinus through Kant draws our attention to two key issues: men's sense of domination and mental triumph over nature and their exclusion of women from the sublime and their relegating them to the realm of the beautiful.Critics attempt to revise the previous errors from the feminist angle and produce a number of new terms: the feminine sublime,the material sublime,the domestic sublime,and the maternal sublime.They all turn toward rather than away from nature and refuse to engage in intellectual acts of domination.An ecofeminist critique of the sublime contributes to a rethinking of the contemporary environmental writing and a rejection of Kantian idealism as a progressive tool for ecocriticial theory.
