| 摘要 | This work investigates the role that ecology plays in the poetics of Gary Snyder, especially as ecological considerations influence his compositional processes, content choices, and forms by examining his recent prose, poetry, and interviews. Existing Snyder criticism often assumes a Formalist approach, treating the works in relative isolation from each other. Not enough criticism assesses or treats seriously Snyder's own concerns with ecology and his explanations of the role of ecology in his poetics, even though Snyder has articulated the relationship extensively in prose and in interviews. There has not been enough critical assessment of his poetry between various works and phases. The publication of Mountains and Rivers Without End represents the convergence of decades of production, which affords readers and critics an opportunity to understand Snyder not only in terms of specific poems and individual collections, but also in terms of his ecological thinking and its conjunction with his poetics. Because it culminates forty years of Snyder's writing, it best illustrates Snyder's ecopoetic process. The relatively recent publications of The Practice of the Wild, A Place in Space , and The Gary Snyder Reader offer additional explanations that assist in understanding what can otherwise be difficult and perplexing moments in his poetry. The major investigation of my work will be into the overall relationship between ecology and Snyder's poetics, especially through the use of his more recent publications. I contend that an understanding of Snyder's concepts of ecology are essential to an accurate understanding of his poetic methods and content, and such concepts give readers a better comprehension of other aspects of Snyder's work, such as his commitment to Buddhism and Native American mythology, his desire to establish a meaningful critique of contemporary culture, and his concerns with the intersection of contemporary philosophy, literary theory, and criticism. This dissertation addresses Snyder's development as a poet in relation to his growing understanding of ecological principles and his efforts to combine them into a unified way of seeing and understanding the world. |
