【摘要】：莫马戴是著名的美国印第安作家,自从他的小说《黎明小屋》获得普利策奖后,他的作品受到越来越多的人关注。目前为止,对这部小说的研究主要集中在身份追寻、美国白人与美国印第安人文化冲突等方面。当然,也曾有学者从叙事角度、人物形象、后殖民主义研究这部作品。然而,这本小说中其实蕴含着丰富的生态主义思想,值得读者细细品味。随着环境的恶化,人们开始认识到环境保护的重要性,生态批评也由此应运而生。生态批评主要研究的是人,自然和精神的关系。通过阐述人类破坏环境的行为给自然和人类本身带来的恶果,唤醒人们的生态意识,意识到人与自然密不可分的相互依存关系,从而反思人类对自然的态度。从生态批评角度解读莫马戴的《黎明小屋》不仅有助于帮助人们建立对自然的正确观念,同时也有助于帮助人们从自然中获得心灵的平静。本论文由五个章节组成。第一章介绍了作家莫马戴的生平及小说《黎明小屋》的故事内容,叙述了国内外对作家莫马戴和他的作品《黎明小屋》的研究现状,阐述了本论文的创新点。第二章简述了生态批评的发展史,并解释了生态批评理论的内容,对生态批评研究的对象及其中的观点进行了详细叙述。第三章从自然生态角度探讨人与自然的关系。把美国白人传统的对待自然的观念和美国印第安人对自然的观念进行对比,美国白人征服自然的思想和美国印第安人尊敬自然的思想形成了强烈反差,并且阐述了美国白人人类中心主义的核心思想和美国印第安人生态整体主义的思想。第四章从精神生态角度讨论了主人公艾贝尔的身份追寻之旅,从艾贝尔逃离印第安保留地到出狱后在洛杉矶与社会格格不入的悲惨生活,再到最后重回印第安保留地,寻回了自己的身份并找到了心灵的平静。第五章总结了小说中蕴含的生态思想,呼吁人们重新审视人与自然的关系。
