| 摘要 | The late arrival of ecocriticism in literary studies in the 1970s attests to what seems to have meant hardly anything at all to literary studies scholars since the birth of literary theory and criticism. What mattered had to be, at the very least, human, or a set of human interests that effectively debased the environment. Ecocriticism, established less than half a century ago, has made inroads on the speaking up for the rights of autonomy of other than human beings in literary studies contexts, and for the entanglement of human and other than human rights in those same contexts. Its success, however, has been mottled, and judging from the severity of environmental collapse it has not achieved anything close to what its earliest champions hoped for. The discipline persists, nonetheless, in scholars’ efforts to address environmental apocalypse. This article is part of those efforts: it provides a brief summary of the fifty-year history of ecocriticism and illustrates two major turns in ecocriticism in the last ten years, the material and the decolonial turns, by way of illustration of a discussion of Tara June Winch’s The Yield (2019). The novel functions as an implicit indictment of the resource extraction industry in Australian in the neocolonial period, and so it ties to and evokes arguments made by ecocriticism, postcolonial ecocriticism, and colonial-settler studies scholars about the role that resource extraction is playing in environmental carnage. |
