推想人類世未來樣貌：瑪格麗特‧愛特伍之《瘋狂亞當三部曲》

本論文研究瑪格麗特．愛特伍的《瘋狂亞當三部曲》──《末世男女》、《洪荒年代》與《瘋狂亞當》。雖然對於愛特伍的研究極為廣泛，大多視《瘋狂亞當三部曲》為描繪人類文明滅亡的反烏托邦。本研究嘗試以人類世的想像，說明《瘋狂亞當三部曲》不僅批判當代政治、社會、經濟、科技的問題，同時描繪了一個人類和自然環境和諧共處、共存共榮的未來。導言敘述瑪格麗特．愛特如何從《使女的故事》到《末世男女》將關注由女性主義轉移到生態環境及人類世。第一章主要探討愛特伍在《末世男女》與《洪荒年代》中，批判一個資本主義與科技所主宰的社會，並透過生態女性觀點，提出突破資本主義與父權控制的想像。第二章闡述愛特伍將未來人類世預想一個充滿希望的烏托邦，人類重新與其他物種建立關係，並承擔和不同物種共生的倫理責任。

Margaret Atwood’s speculative fiction works in the MaddAddam trilogy consists of the novels Oryx and Crake, The Year of the Flood, and MaddAddam. The criticism of Atwood’s MaddAddam trilogy has been extensive and diverse, yet much of it agrees that it features dystopian narratives that depict the collapse of human civilization. This study situates the MaddAddam trilogy in the context of Anthropocene imaginings, demonstrating how the trilogy provides insights into socio-political, economic, scientific, and technological problems of human centeredness while also indicating a future in which humans and nonhumans could coexist. My introduction explores how Atwood reoriented her concerns from feminism to humanity’s control over the environment in the Anthropocene era. Chapter one examines how Atwood criticizes a corporation-controlled world in which scientists are capable of terrible, earth-changing errors, while also exploring alternatives from an ecofeminist perspective that resists capitalism and patriarchy. Chapter two suggests that Atwood imagines the future Anthropocene world as a practical utopia in which humans can build meaningful and ethical relationships with nonhumans.
