روایت‌های ‌زیست محیطی: فلسفه‌ی برابری‌طلبانه و اکوسوفی در نفی انسان‌محوری در اورلاندوی ویرجینیا وولف

بی‌تردید انسان همواره سعی در تثبیت جایگاه خود بر روی کره زمین داشته است. بسیاری از نویسندگان با آثار خود سعی در طرح این مسئله قابل مناقشه داشته‌اند، از جمله ویرجینیا وولف (1942 1882) نویسنده نوگرای بریتانیایی که با آثارش به جلب توجه خوانندگان خویش به محیط زیست و طبیعت و ارتقاء خرد بوم‌شناسی آن‌ها می‌پردازد. در رمان اورلاندو: یک سرگذشت (1928) وولف با توسل به روایت‌های زیست‌محیطی با طرح فلسفه‌ی برابری‌طلبانه مسئله‌ی پرچالش انسان‌محوری را محکوم می‌کند. این تحقیق بر آن است تا با بررسی رمان اورلاندو وولف به تحلیل فلسفه‌ی برابری‌طلبی و محکومیت انسان‌محوری بپردازد. مقاله حاضر، جایگاه انسان را بر روی کره زمین زیر سئوال می‌برد و اثبات می‌کند که انسان‌ها باید سعی در ارتقاء خرد و آگاهی بوم‌شناسی خود کنند، که همان اکوسوفی است که توسط آرنه نایس (1912 2009) فیلسوف و منتقد بوم‌گرای نروژی مطرح شده است. فلسفه‌ی اکوسوفی جزءِ تئوری نقد بوم‌گرا محسوب می‌شود و درنتیجه آن انسان پی می‌برد که تمامی موجودات روی کره خاکی اعم از کوچکترین آن‌ها که با چشم غیرمسلح قابل رویت است، تا بزرگترین موجودات از حقوقی برابر برای دسترسی به امکانات برای ادامه حیات برخوردارند. بنابراین شخصیت اصلی داستان، اورلاندو به نکوهش اجداد خویش در پرسشگری در باب فلسفه‌ی برابری طلبی می‌پردازد؛ و در واقع، وولف در پی‌اثبات این امر است که چگونه از طریق قدرت روایت زیست‌محیطی حقیقت را که گاهی کتمان شده و یا رنگ باخته است، احیاء کند.

environmental narratives: egalitarian philosophy and ecosophophy in denying anthropocentrism in virginia woolf’s orlando

introduction: this research aims to analyze virginia woolf (1882 1942)’s orlando: a biography (1928) based on environmental narrative, egalitarian philosophy and ecosophy to criticize anthropocentrism. the theoretical framework is mainly based on arne naess’s philosophies of egalitarianism and ecosophy which show how woolf, through environmental narratives, clarifies the significance of nature and environment. naess believes that a systematic discipline in terms of philosophical view is essential to develop interconnectedness between humans and nature or ecological system. he assumes that self realization is linked with ecological awareness, then knowing ecology or ecologism leads to ecosophy. in the novel, orlando, as the main character, reaches a kind of ecological self recognition and egalitarian tendency. when she is among gypsies, she is drawn to the eyecatching beauty of nature and she knows that how humans can be attached to nature without pay attention to their anthropocentric interest. the article finally indicates that how all living beings, including humans are respectful and humans are not unique species and must not spoil lands and nature to satisfy their own desires. background of the study: this study focuses on orlando: a biography and it is framed to investigate the novel by illustrating the environmental narrative through egalitarian philosophy and ecosophy. it also demonstrates that how humans seek the value of life, and their happiness and satisfaction. virginia woolf, as a british novelist, in orlando ponders the various effects of time, from fifteenth century to the turn of the nineteenth century, on nature and environment. woolf’s fictional character is subjectively a symbol of highlighting the egalitarian culture via environmental narratives. woolf has utilized the natural world to portray the significance of its trouble created by humans. therefore, she puts a lot of stress on nature, environment, and non humans in her works. she can be regarded as a philosopher who has developed egalitarian culture designating respect for all the living beings and she struggles to show the interaction between humans and the earth that should be modified in a better way.methodology: the present study applies the egalitarian philosophy and ecosophy which are categorized in the theory of ecocriticism. ecocriticism is an interdisciplinary study that concentrates on common grounds, relationships and affiliations exit between two different fields of study: ecology and literature. arne naess who is an eco philosopher and ecocritic by turning to ecocriticism announces that the relationships between humans and nature can be possible by increasing ecological wisdom and awareness. naess relies on biospherical egalitarianism that is to consider the environment as an entity that has its right to be safe. he believes that the rights of the environment are as important as human rights. the species’ equality is proposed by naess. he comes to conclusions that all living beings must live on the planet earth without spoiling one another’s benefits and rights. as a result, this study illustrates how naess as an ecocritic attempts to modify the interaction of humans, nature, and environment.conclusion: orlando is woolf’s attempt to reveal how nature and environment have the same rights to be kept alive. woolf uses environmental narrative to show the right place of humans in nature. she criticizes anthropocentrism and challenges the anthropocentric views through her narrative. she thinks that people need the ecological awareness to reach an egalitarian perspective not to hurt nature and environment any longer.
