Hellscapes Environmental Crisis Hellish Landscapes

项目摘要

Hell is on the rise. With headlines describing our "descent into Covid hell" (Petersen, 2021) and"apocalyptic" wildfires (Smith, 2021), writers are turning to Hell to express environmental concern. Asthis terminology gains currency in popular culture, a recuperation of Hell's history, theological roots, andsubsequent secularisation into metaphor is especially urgent.This study establishes the "hellscape" as a new term for reading Hell-like spaces in the long nineteenthcentury, the period often associated with Hell's theological demise (Turner, 1993; 232). In threerepresentative case studies, I analyse how Victorian writers used hellscapes to express their darkestfears in socio-ecological crises, creating a shared language that bridged numerous British dialects andregions.Research questions1. Why does Victorian literature repeatedly turn to hellish language and metaphors to describelandscapes in moments of social and environmental crisis?2. What are the characteristic features of nineteenth-century hellscapes compared to theological andliterary Hells?3. How does ecoGothic literary criticism deepen our understanding of intersections between theologicalthought and depictions of environmental corruption in the nineteenth century?4. How do the differing geographies of each case study impact depictions of the hellscape in nineteenth century literature?

地狱正在崛起。随着头条新闻描述我们“陷入新冠地狱”（Petersen，2021）和“世界末日”野火（Smith，2021），作家们正在转向地狱来表达环境担忧。随着这个术语在流行文化中流行起来，对地狱的历史、神学根源以及随后世俗化为隐喻的恢复就显得尤为紧迫。这项研究将“地狱景观”确立为一个新术语，用于解读漫长的十九世纪的地狱般的空间，这一时期通常与地狱的神学消亡联系在一起(Turner, 1993; 232)。在三个代表性案例研究中，我分析了维多利亚时代的作家如何利用地狱景象来表达他们在社会生态危机中最黑暗的恐惧，创造出一种连接众多英国方言和地区的共同语言。为什么维多利亚时代的文学反复转向地狱般的语言和隐喻来描述社会和环境危机时刻的风景？2．与神学和文学中的地狱相比，十九世纪的地狱景观有何特点？3．生态哥特式文学批评如何加深我们对十九世纪神学思想与环境腐败描述之间交叉点的理解？4．每个案例研究的不同地理位置如何影响十九世纪文学中对地狱景观的描述？
