Previous studies on this novel mainly focus on the love between Inman and Ada, the trauma from the war and the yearning for home. There are also some other scholars who make comparative study between this novel and The Odyssey. All the researches contributes to the further understanding of Cold Mountain. The novel embodies eco-feminism distinctly and evidently, so this paper intends to expound the relationship between humans and nature implied by Cold Mountain from the angle of ecofeminism.
Ecofeminism concerns the fate of nature and woman; gives positive value to the relationship between women and nature; advocates dependence and reliance among inpiduals. Ecofeminists are dedicated to building a world characterized by equality of men and women, harmony between the sexes, harmony between human society and nature. The ideas conveyed by Frazier in his novel Cold Mountain happen to be the same as ecofeminists’ ideas. His pursuit of equality between men and women, harmony between human society and nature, has instructive significance on building a harmonious society and world. He is indeed a male writer with ecofeminist consciousness.
Keywords: Cold Mountain; ecofeminism; human and nature; Charles Frazier
摘 要查尔斯•弗雷泽是一位新近崛起的作家，《冷山》是其第一部小说。该作品因描写了人与自然的复杂关系荣获美国国家图书奖。小说自问世以来，受到了评论界和学术界人士的广泛关注。在国内，《冷山》也引起不少读者的关注。
前人主要对《冷山》中英曼与艾达的爱情，战争给人带来的创伤，对家园的渴望等进行了研究。还有学者对该小说与《奥德赛》进行了比较性阅读。所有的研究都促进了读者们对小说的深层理解。但是，该小说中也十分明显和充分的体现了一个深刻的思想，那就是生态女性主义思想。本文以生态女性主义的角度来解读《冷山》，旨在深入挖掘隐含的人与自然的关系。
生态女性主义关注自然与女性的命运，积极肯定女性与自然之间的联系，提倡个体之间的联系，致力于建立男女平等，两性和谐，人与自然和谐相处的社会。弗雷泽在《冷山》中传达的思想与生态女性主义不谋而合。他对男女平等，人与自然和谐相处的追求对当今和谐社会、和谐世界的构建也具有一定指导意义。他确实是一位具有生态女性主义的男性作家。
