Abstract

Concepts such as Timothy Morton’s hyperobjects and Rob Nixon’s slow violence assert the epistemological difficulties involved in assessing current environmental problems along with the affective potential of art to “rouse public sentiment” (Nixon 3) and create an “affective experience that would existentially and politically bind them [people] to hyperobjects, to care for them” (Morton 184). Because of these epistemological challenges and the role of affect, we can argue that there is a link between environmental issues and fantastic literature, which portrays unsettling and incomprehensible events, suggesting that it may be a rich avenue for rethinking the relationship between humans and the environment. This article will put such a suggestion to the test by investigating the environmental crisis as it is represented in the fantastic fiction of author Marie Darrieussecq. Through its analysis of key scenes from White, Truismes, and Notre vie dans les forêts, it will determine how Darrieussecq encourages environmental action through the representation and production of affect, empathy, and community, an intervention that ultimately has important consequences for how we conceptualize humanity itself.

摘要

蒂莫西·莫顿（Timothy Morton）的超对象和罗伯·尼克松（Rob Nixon）的缓慢暴力等概念断言了评估当前环境问题所涉及的认识论上的困难，以及艺术“激发公众情感”（Nixon 3）的情感潜力，并创造了一种“存在性和政治性的情感体验”他们[人]到超物体，去照顾它们”（Morton 184）。由于这些认识论方面的挑战和影响的作用，我们可以认为环境问题与奇妙的文学作品之间存在联系，描绘了令人不安和难以理解的事件，这表明它可能是重新思考人与环境之间关系的丰富途径。 。本文将通过调查作者Marie Darrieussecq的奇幻小说中所代表的环境危机，对测试提出这样的建议。通过对关键场景的分析White，Truismes和Notre vie dans lesforêts，它将确定Darrieussecq如何通过表现和产生情感，同情心和社区来鼓励环境行动，而这种干预最终对我们对人类本身的概念产生重要影响。
