退化與糾纏：韓松《紅色海洋》的世界繪圖
Regression and Entanglement: Red Ocean's Mapping of the World
摘要
本文以韓松的科幻小說《紅色海洋》為對象，主要從「退化」和「糾纏」兩個面向探討小說的「世界」樣貌。論文分成四部分，首先討論國族與「世界」的關係。小說主題是關於「世界大戰」，但除了指涉多個國家或地區的戰爭，此術語亦意指如何想像、書寫、建構「世界」，簡單地說就是如何進行「世界繪圖」。第二部分探討「未來」與「世界」。小說的「未來」是過去與未來、已然與未然糾纏的多重未來。其中，鄭和的故事將多重世界與多重未來的命題發揮的淋漓盡致。故事將量子力學融入科幻想象，處理歷史走向、人類未來、世界繪圖等議題，並編織出一幅幅詭譎幻化、引人入勝的故事－世界。第三部分以退化的世界作為討論核心。故事彰顯了文明史本質上如何也是野蠻史，本文將以「啟蒙辯證」觀點提出解釋。論文最後聚焦於環境與生態議題，探討小說如何描繪多物種依存的生態糾纏關係網絡系統。

This paper delves into Han Song's science fiction novel Red Ocean, primarily focusing on the themes of regression and entanglement to examine how they "map the world." Firstly, the paper discusses the relationship between nationhood and the "world." The term "world war" encompasses not only the conflicts involving multiple nations or regions but also how the "world" is imagined and constructed-essentially, the art of "world mapping." The second section explores the worlding of futures. In the novel, the "future" is depicted as a tangled web of the past, present, and multiple futures. The story of Zheng He best exemplifies the intricate exploration of multiple worlds and multiple futures. Incorporating principles from quantum mechanics, Han Song addresses such issues as the course of history, the future of humanity, and the mapping of the world-weaving a captivating tapestry of story-worlds. T he third part places the regressive world at the center of my discussion. The concept of "dialectics of enlightenment" is introduced to explain how the history of civilization is essentially a history of barbarism. The paper concludes by focusing on environmental and ecological issues, examining how Red Ocean portrays a network of entangled relationships among multiple species within an interdependent ecological system.
