本文通过对人类世水小说中洪水形象的分析，重新评价了现实主义在气候变化表现方面的潜力。这篇文章借鉴了Amitav Ghosh的非虚构作品The Great Derangement（2016）以及他的小说The Hungry Tide（2004）和Gun Island（2019），分别在The Great Derangement之前和之后出版。我认为，通过他们的水生语言和洪水意象的发展，人类世的水小说挑战现实主义的局限性，高希确定在大混乱。
ABSTRACT This article reappraises the potential of realism with respect to the representation of climate change through an analysis of the figure of the flood in what I term Anthropocene water fictions. The article draws on Amitav Ghosh’s nonfictional The Great Derangement (2016) together with his novels The Hungry Tide (2004) and Gun Island (2019), published before and after The Great Derangement, respectively. I argue that through their development of an aquatic language and diluvian imagery, Anthropocene water fictions challenge the limitations of realism that Ghosh identifies in The Great Derangement.
