| 摘要 | “Living in harmony with nature” has become a root metaphor and an imperative in a postcolonial global discourse on environmental crisis. This article uses an interpretive approach to problematize the concepts of “harmony” and “nature” by juxtaposing “global” and “local” discourses on the human‐environment relationship. It argues that harmony is a “Western/global” discourse borrowed by Sri Lankan environmentalists that has varying levels of resonance with “local” cultural concepts through a discussion of myths of the Golden Age, nature and morality, the human‐deity‐nature triad, and the microcosm‐macrocosm relationship. The harmony discourse, however, leaves no space for the articulation of an alternative local discourse on the kaliyugaya, which also offers an interpretation of environmental crisis. |
