This article explores the ecology of form presented in George Eliot's novelSilas Marner. Though many have read the novel as a tight-knit account of an organic society, this author reads a more disorienting, emergent, and conflicted study of the coproduction of lives and environment. George Henry Lewes's account of physiology, particularly his discussion of epigenesis, is foundational to this disorganizing turn in Eliot's fiction. Finally, the author explores how the contingent relation between Eppie and Silas Marner underlines the recent convergence between discussions of queer futurity and the agential turn in ecocriticism.

西拉斯·马纳与形式生态学

本文探讨乔治·艾略特小说中呈现的形式生态西拉斯·马纳. 尽管许多人将这部小说解读为对有机社会的紧密描述，但这位作者阅读了对生命和环境共同生产的更加迷失方向、突现和冲突的研究。乔治·亨利·刘易斯对生理学的描述，尤其是他对后生的讨论，是艾略特小说中这种混乱转向的基础。最后，作者探讨了 Eppie 和 Silas Marner 之间的偶然关系如何强调最近关于酷儿未来的讨论与生态批评的代理转向之间的趋同。
