D. Roberts's "The Kindred of the Wilderness"、Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat (also translated as "Living with the Wolf")、Incredible Travels by Sheila Burnford and more。Among them, Seton and Roberts are famous,Known as the twin stars of Canadian English animal literature。As a literary category with unique charm and connotation,Canadian English bet365 free bets not only highlights the artistic charm of bet365 free bets、Social value、Ideological connotation and cultural significance,And shows everything from animal hunting to animal protection、From fringe literature to mainstream literature、From ecological turn to animal turn、The conceptual change from anthropocentrism to human subject consciousness。
Beautiful and bet365 free bets writing conforms to literary aesthetics
As one of the important types and genres of literature,bet365 free bets has aesthetic characteristics common to other literary types and genres,Including the ups and downs of the story、Vivid image、Plot conflict and tension、Beautiful and fluent language, etc.,The same is true for Canadian English bet365 free bets。The difference is,Objects described in Canadian English bet365 free bets,It is a real animal in nature,Rather than animals as metaphors or animals in fables;The story it narrates,Mostly based on the animals’ own experiences,Rather than the writer’s pure personal imagination;Content described,It is a scientific display based on animal habits,Not the dialogue between animals or the inner world of animals。As the founder and representative of Canadian English bet365 free bets,Sidon through metaphor、Tenderness and warmth such as personification,Making nature and animals full of spirituality and poetry。In "Dip's Adventure",Seton used metaphors to vividly and realistically describe the beautiful and unique appearance of the mouse Dipper,Display his high-spirited spirit to the fullest。"It (i.e. Dipper) is wearing a bright yellow cloak,Wearing a pair of white gloves on the front feet,The back foot seems to be wearing a pair of white slippers,And wearing a white vest on the front,It also has a pair of big moist eyes like an antelope,Long tail with stripes,There is a bunch of white tassels at the tip of the tail,Like a white flag printed on it。” (Volume 1 of "The Complete Works of Sidon's Animal Novels",Southern Publishing House 2003 edition) in "The Family of the Broken-Eared Rabbit",Animal communication is clever and spiritual: rabbits transmit signals to each other by tapping the ground to emit "the signal code",The process of rabbits learning to hunt is "the latest research result"、“It was really a post-graduate course”。
,Roberts wrote in the book "The Wandering King",“A continuous stretch of bare white peaks,Meandering to the east,Crossing a huge low-lying basin,Some low hills,A dim black forest,There is also a blue-gray ribbon river that winds and flows into the distance。Overwhelming、Layered milky white fog floats on the top of the trees。The edge of the thick fog suddenly merges with the first ray of air before dawn,Thus becoming unimaginably transparent。…at this time,The lonely summit of Whiteface Mountain has ushered in the dawn,The top of the jagged crown mountain suddenly emitted a flaming red light。Then,The entire mountaintop is bathed in a surge of pale rose red and pulsating golden sunlight。...A slender and powerful tawny figure quietly walked out of the cave,Bright as the sun" ("The Wandering King",China Central Radio and Television University Press 2015 edition)。This description is shown in a beautiful forest,Cougars are free、Scenes of unrestrained life。In scenery description and spatial narrative,Roberts not only demonstrated his language skills and aesthetic feelings for the landscape through smooth and beautiful descriptions,And it shows his ideological appeal,Including allowing bet365 free bets to enjoy freedom consistent with their nature、Harmonious coexistence between man and nature and human beings should have a humanitarian spirit, etc.。
Vivid and accurate descriptions help popularize bet365 free bets
Generally speaking,Popular knowledge about animals themselves and ecological introduction about animals and nature,It is the basic quality and core characteristic of realistic animal novels;A scientific narrative about animality rather than humanity,It is an important feature and genre representation of bet365 free bets。For bet365 free bets,The drama of story conflict、The three-dimensionality of animal images、The richness of story imagination、The beauty of narrative writing,The writing style is single、There is no substitute for popular science articles in plain language。Therefore,Story reading and knowledge research through Canadian English bet365 free bets,Can understand better、Understand and analyze the characteristics and habits of animals、Category characteristics and group relations, etc.,Reflecting on animals and animals、Animals and Humans、Animals and Nature、The inherent relationship between humans and nature。In "Billy the Wild Wolf",Seton is based on field observation and scientific research,A detailed and in-depth description of the hunting sounds of the North American gray wolf: "When the wolf is hunting,The sounds produced can be divided into three types。One is a long, low howl,That’s gathering partners,Indicates it found strong prey,Need help from companions;The second is a loud and full howl,It’s the wolves chasing the prey fiercely;The third type is a high-pitched bark followed by a short growl,That is telling you: the prey has met with doom。Three voices connected,It is the whole process of wolf hunting。”
In "The Call of the Arctic",Roberts vividly describes the fight between a male walrus and a polar bear,Incorporate a large amount of bet365 free bets science knowledge into it,Making it a highly narrative introduction to science,It also has aesthetic value: "A brown-gray behemoth covered with terrifying spots - a huge male walrus is surfacing。The male walrus has a frighteningly ugly face and a pair of long, sharp tusks,Like a sinister smile,Flapping its huge fins,Chasing towards the mother bear。...It uses powerful forepaws and sharp claws,Attack the opponent hard one after another。But the huge male walrus has rough skin and thick flesh,Although there were blood stains after being slapped several times,But not seriously injured。At this time,The male walrus also has red eyes,Incredibly angry,Staring with little eyes,Flapping fins to attack。”(“Prisoners of the Pitcher Plant”,China Central Radio and Television University Press 2015 edition) This kind of popular science introduction makes the novel extremely authentic、Documentary and on-the-scene。
Promote the importance and protection of bet365 free bets
bet365 free bets also has symbolic value in culture。In terms of Canadian literary history,Canadian English bet365 free bets makes realistic animals truly become the core protagonists in the literary world for the first time,From a supporting role in human life to the protagonist and master in nature,Enable bet365 free bets to enter the literary kingdom in a physical way rather than a metaphorical way,Achieved a great expansion of the scope of literary writing and experimental innovation of literary categories。"The Mythical Zoo: Mythology" by contemporary American scholar Boria Sax、Animals in Legends and Literature》think,As a relatively typical literary symptom,Ecology、History and cultural traditions not only firmly connect animals to their natural environment,Also connect them to the millennium practices and cultural values of human beings。This reveals the duality of material and spiritual aspects in the inherent dependence of the ecological environment。In Sachs’ opinion,Even if human genetic characteristics continue forever,If there are no other creatures,"Human nature" will also cease to exist。Canadian English bet365 free bets can make humans feel sympathy, compassion or respect and admiration,Understand the living habits and destiny choices of animals;It also makes humans rethink animals and humans、Animals and Nature、The multiple relationships between humans and nature,Reflect on the law of the jungle and the concept of anthropocentrism,Thus reshaping humanitarian sentiment and fraternity、Self-esteem、Awareness of self-improvement。
Seton wrote in "The Original Preface to "Wild Animals I Know"": "We and animals belong to the same family。Animals will not have none of what humans have,What animals have is also shared by humans to some extent。Since animals are all creatures with seven emotions and six desires,It’s just different in degree compared to us,Therefore,They should have their own rights as a matter of course。This fact,The white world is just beginning to realize,But Buddhists were already emphasizing this as early as two thousand years ago。”Therefore,As a relatively typical literary symptom,Canadian English bet365 free bets gives full play to the intervention and speaking functions of literature as public discourse,With animal protection organizations、Government Legislature、News and propaganda agencies and others jointly promoted the birth of modern regulations such as the Animal Protection Act and the Animal Act in Canada,In turn, it promotes the reshaping of Canadian national self-awareness and the discipline of the overall national quality。
Has philosophical value in bet365 free bets thought
From the perspective of the history of literary thought,Canadian English bet365 free bets with documentary、Multiple methods compatible with scientific research and fiction,Integrating social politics、Colonial History、Economic, trade and other cultural background,Images showing humans and animals、Humanity and Nature、The multiple relationships between humans and ecology。Through popular science introduction and artistic description,Making people aware of the commonalities and differences between animals and humans,Treat or differentiate humans and animals equally,And then construct human self-identity and self-image。As Sachs said: "The perfect man does not exist,Animals also have their ‘human’ side。We find self-identity and self-denial in animals。Through them,Human beings can construct collective、Religious and personal identities。…in the cultural heritage of humanity,The various symbols and ubiquitous animal imagery in the story attest to this process of division。We pass witchcraft、Metaphor、Imagination blends with animals,Humans will grow fangs,Have wings,Become a god、Saint、Liar、Devil、Clown、Companion、Lover,etc.。”Meanwhile,The concept of anthropocentrism in bet365 free bets,Behaving relatively indifferently and weakly,The expression is relatively vague and shallow,And human self-reflection and pansexual consciousness are in bet365 free bets,The performance is more intense,Reflected more truly and profoundly。Therefore,Awareness of equality between humans and animals、Empathic thoughts、Universalism concept,Received frequent promotion and preliminary construction。Although bet365 free bets is based on scientific observations and field investigations,Fictional stories or non-documentary stories written with full literary inspiration and imagination,But human subject consciousness (such as the subjectivity of observation perspective、Describe the subjectivity of narrative、Self-reflective subjectivity、The subjectivity of literary discourse) still occupies a dominant position。Therefore,In Canadian English bet365 free bets,The concepts of human supremacy and anthropocentrism are generally subject to strong suspicion and deep deconstruction,Human non/decentrism、Human subject consciousness has received preliminary experiments and partial promotion。From anthropocentrism to the concept of human subject,This may be animal literature、Animal criticism、One of the important development directions in ecological criticism and other disciplines。
From an interdisciplinary perspective,Animal writing in Canadian English bet365 free bets,It is both the core object of literary aesthetics and knowledge popularization,It is also a narrative carrier of literary symptomatology and the history of animal thought。via Zoology、Natural History、Literature、History、The integration of many disciplines and fields such as political science,Canadian English bet365 free bets is concerned with more than just what animals are、How are the animals?、The reasons why animals are,It is also the establishment of the origin of human beings、The evolution of human ideas、The creation of the distinction between humans and animals、The formation of human animal thought。This may be what the famous philosopher and thinker Nietzsche said in "Morning Glow": "Justice、wise、Temperance、Brave,Anyway,All the so-called Socratic virtues,The roots are all animal in nature,Both are products of the same instinct that drives us to find food and avoid enemies。As long as we remember,The more types of food the spirits of all things have,The more advanced and subtle his ideas about what is harmful to him become,Then,It may not be inappropriate to describe the entire moral phenomenon as animal。” ("Collected Notes on Nietzsche: Dawn",East China Normal University Press 2007 edition)
In short,In the course of tens of thousands of years of history,There are complex and close diverse relationships between animals and humans。British Historian、Anthropologist Brian Fagan writes in "Intimacy: How Animals Shaped Human History": "We humans have lived in close proximity with various animals for more than 2.5 million years,These animals are big and small,There are mammals and invertebrates,There are carnivores,There are also antelopes that are indifferent to the world。Our earliest ancestors were predators under the law of the jungle - both hunters and prey。In tens of thousands of years,The knowledge they have accumulated is amazing - they understand the habits of various animals。”Based on daily life experience and scientific and technological progress,Human beings continue to be domesticated、Using various animals,Observation、Research and control different animals and their genes,This changes and shapes the existing relationship between humans and animals,It also promotes and shapes what Fagan calls the present and future of human history: "Obtaining food from animals and using animals for vivisection became prominent issues in the 19th century,And continued into the 20th century。However,Only in recent years,The growing intensity of concern for animal rights extends to farms and laboratories。Today,The idea that animals have personality traits has become commonplace,This will allow people to give up their power to oppress and exploit livestock,Be kind to those who have shaped history。”As people pay more and more attention to the protection of the environment and biodiversity,The study of bet365 free bets is characterized by its natural interdisciplinary nature、Humanistic ideological and pluralistic comprehensiveness,It may become a sustainable new growth point for international academic research。
