臺大外文系學術演講 NTU DFLL Faculty Colloquium Title: Emily Dickinson’s Environmental Gothicism Speaker: Prof. Li-hsin Hsu許立欣教授 （National Chengchi University） Moderator: Prof. Lilith Acadia王莉思助理教授 （National Taiwan University） Time: 15:30~17:00, Thursday, May 9, 2024 Venue: 1F DFLL Conference Room, Gallery of University History, NTU （臺大校史館1樓外文系會議室） Abstract: The talk looks at Emily Dickinson’s poetry about the nonhuman world, in particular relation to EcoGothic and Timothy Morton’s Dark Ecology, rethinking the role fear plays in her poems about Nature, and how ecological awareness in Dickinson resonates with what Morton calls “ecognosis” — a riddle-like, serpentine form of ecological knowledge that sees dark thought as a necessary path to lead one to a deeper level of ecological understanding （from dark-depressing and dark-uncanny to dark-sweet）. By exploring fear as an essential part of one’s ecological relations in Dickinson, and her conceptual resonance with Morton, the essay highlights the dark ecological epistemology in Dickinson in her attempt to assess an alternative, potentially more sustainable mode of ecological thinking, with a shifting aesthetics from a gothicized sense of human-nonhuman alienation towards an eco-poetics of human-nonhuman co-strangeness, and an ecognostic understanding of multi-species co-existence. |
