摘　　要：现代性困境是启蒙运动的后果之一。启蒙理性的膨胀激发了人类凌驾于自然之上的欲望,不仅导致人类与自然日渐疏离,也消磨了人类向善求美的意志。作为“垮掉的一代”的经典作品,杰克·凯鲁亚克的小说《在路上》,通过其荒野叙事,展现了作家对现代性的思考和对现代人命运的关注。本文以荒野叙事为切入点,聚焦荒野想象、荒野追寻、荒野融入、荒野疏离和荒野再想象的叙事循环,对作品进行了文本分析和阐释。研究发现,凯鲁亚克是一位具有潜在生态意识的作家,其作品再现了处于文化边缘的“垮掉的一代”所面临的城市还是荒野的两难选择,表达了他们对物质主义和消费主义的不满和反抗、对西方现代文明的反思和对生态乌托邦的向往。Modern Dilemma is one of the consequences of Enlightenment Movement.The expansion of the Enlightenment rationality arouses human’s desire to dominate nature,which not only results in the alienation between human and nature,but wears down human’s will to goodness and beauty.Jack Kerouac’s On the Road,a classic of the Beat Generation,via wilderness pursuit,presents the author’s reflection of modernity and concern for modern people’s destiny.This paper will focus on the wilderness narrative,namely the circular narrative of wilderness imagination,wilderness pursuit,wilderness engagement,wilderness alienation and wilderness re-imagination,to analyze and interpret the novel.The study finds that Kerouac is a writer with potential ecological awareness and,in his work,he reproduces the dilemma choice between city and wilderness of the Beat Generation who lives out of the cultural mainstream,expressing their dissatisfaction with and resistance against materialism and consumerism,the reflection of the western modern civilization and dream of an ecological utopia.
