商品描述
This book interrogates the theme of vegetal sentience and consciousness in the form of trees that move purposefully and/or speak, a theme which appears in everything from classical mythology to twentieth -century and contemporary literature, which draws on this earlier work. Graham's research includes literary and scientific works on vegetal consciousness and sentience, and applies this ecocritical lens in her analysis of various works of literature, television, and film. This book aims to illustrate how sentient trees in speculative fiction help readers better understand that other beings on Earth and/or the Universe are motivated and able to act on goals and desires, even when those goals may not coincide with those of humans.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書探討了植物感知與意識的主題，特別是那些有目的地移動和/或會說話的樹木，這一主題出現在從古典神話到二十世紀及當代文學的各種作品中，並且借鑒了早期的研究。Graham的研究涵蓋了有關植物意識和感知的文學及科學作品，並在她對各種文學、電視和電影作品的分析中應用這種生態批評的視角。本書旨在說明，科幻小說中的有感知的樹木如何幫助讀者更好地理解地球和/或宇宙中的其他生物是如何受到動機驅使並能夠實現目標和願望，即使這些目標可能與人類的目標不一致。
