ABSTRACT

This study examines contemporary poems on the Aral Sea crisis. Labelling them Russophone, the authors argue that the Russian language holds its status of lingua franca for the poets concerned about the environmental disaster in Central Asia. In these poems, the Aral Sea has become a central metaphor for the catastrophe that transcends the original case. The depiction of the diverse environmental issues caused by expanded irrigation policies in Soviet Central Asia provides favourable conditions to study these verses primarily from an ecopoetic perspective. Though these poems address one problem, the narrative form remains diverse: some authors apply various images; others personify the Aral Sea. In these verses the desert image acquires an unorthodox interpretation, while the personification of the Aral Sea in the poems reinforces the prior ecopoetry studies. This article investigates the poems’ content, historical background and anthropogenic effects on nature that pushed their authors to write them.

摘要

本研究考察了有关咸海危机的当代诗歌。作者将它们称为俄语，认为对于关心中亚环境灾难的诗人来说，俄语保持着通用语言的地位。在这些诗歌中，咸海已成为超越原案的灾难的中心隐喻。对苏联中亚扩大灌溉政策造成的各种环境问题的描述为主要从生态诗学的角度研究这些诗句提供了有利的条件。尽管这些诗歌解决了一个问题，但叙事形式仍然多种多样：一些作者运用了不同的意象；有些作者运用了不同的意象；有些作者运用了不同的意象；有些作者则运用了不同的意象；有些作者则运用了不同的意象；有些作者则运用了不同的意象；有些作者则运用了不同的意象；有些作者则运用了不同的意象；有些作者则运用了不同的意象；有些作者则运用了不同的意象；有些作者则运用了不同的意象。其他人则是咸海的化身。在这些诗句中，沙漠意象获得了非正统的解释，而诗歌中咸海的拟人化则强化了之前的生态诗研究。本文调查了这些诗歌的内容、历史背景以及促使作者创作这些诗歌的人为对自然的影响。
