在本文中,我们探讨了如何阅读投机小说(SF)可以被理解为一种生成方式,参与更广泛的计算的想法,越来越多的经验,气候危机。聚焦于杰夫·范德梅尔2014年的小说《湮灭》作为新怪异小说的一个例子,我们研究了文本给生活带来的神秘气氛,以及一些读者的情感反应,创造了想象气候未来的新方式。科幻评论家和其他文化评论家关注的是小说、作者和体裁如何重新配置气候变化世界的文化叙事,以及它们对读者想象力的影响或作用。但他们很少从经验上探讨非专业读者是如何参与投机性气候小说的。我们对人类世时代虚构想象力的评估的贡献,集中在一个详细和定性的方式,科幻读者可以与科幻文本,而不是什么文本说,做给读者。我们以小说阅读和意义建构的社会和情感体验为中心,并突出读者如何集体讨论居住在这些主题和影响上的小说的乐趣。借鉴Verlie(2021)关于情感适应的工作,我们认为SF阅读的媒介可以构成理解和应对气候危机的丰富和生成方式。
In this paper we explore how reading speculative fiction (SF) can be understood as a generative way to participate in a wider reckoning with the idea, and increasingly the experience, of climate crisis. Focusing on Jeff VanderMeer’s 2014 novelAnnihilationas an example of New Weird fiction, we examine how the uncanny atmospheres brought to life by the text, and the affective responses of some of its readers, create new ways of imagining climate futures. SF critics and other cultural commentators have focused on what novels, authors and genres can do to reconfigure cultural narratives of a climate-changed world, and their impact or effect on the imaginations of readers. But they rarely explore empirically how nonprofessional readers are engaging with speculative climate fiction. Our contribution to assessments of the power of the fictional imagination in the age of the Anthropocene focuses in a detailed and qualitative way on what SF readers can make with SF texts rather than on what texts are said to do to readers. We centre the social and affective experiences of fiction reading and sense-making, and foreground how readers collectively discuss the pleasures of fiction that dwells on these themes and affects. Drawing on Verlie’s (2021) work on affective adaptation, we suggest that the medium of SF reading can constitute a rich and generative way to understand and live with climate crisis.
