摘　　要：阿特伍德的《羚羊与秧鸡》延续了作家一贯以来对食物书写的深刻关注,通过刻画未来社会里食物丰腴与匮乏的不同场景,凸显了食物营造政治力场这一创作主旨。具体而言,小说将进食、喂食、同类相食等行为转化为文学隐喻,着力描述了食物与个人身体、家庭权力和社会生态之间的深层关联,食物不仅是权力阶层规训民众身体的媒介,还隐秘地参与到家庭和社会权力场的斗争中,折射出人性的欲望和西方文化如弱肉强食、过度消费与进食等内在痼疾,从而揭示了饮食与身体、象征性的进食和政治之间的复杂关系。Margaret Atwood's novel Oryx and Crake embodies her longtime profound interest in writing about food.Through depicting different scenarios in the future society where food is either abundant or scarce,this novel puts the theme of food politics in the foreground.Specifically,Atwood uses eating,feeding,appetite and cannibalism as literary tropes to explore the deep-rooted connection between food and individual bodies,domestic and social power.Food is the weapon that the powerful has to discipline the masses,and it also secretly participates in the fierce fight of domestic and social force-fields,which reveals the desire of human nature and the innate illness of the western culture such as the jungle law of“eat or be eaten”and excessive,willful consumption.
