摘　　要：以汤姆森的《四季》及蒲朴的《温莎林》为例考察18世纪初英国自由主义经济旨趣下的动物生命政治。受18世纪仁爱文化及自然神学的影响,汤姆森及蒲朴诗中对动物的赞美和爱护体现了不同以往的“爱生之情”,表现了上升的资产阶级“使人活”并泽及动物“让动物活”的生命政治理念。同时,这一生命政治也体现了随时征用、掠夺生命的“例外状态”。The paper takes James Thomson’s The Seasons and Alexander Pope’s Windsor Forest as examples to investigate the animal bio-politics under British liberalism in the early 18th century.Influenced by deism and benevolence culture prevalent in the 18th century,Thomson and Pope lavished praise and love for animals in their poems,showing a“biophilia”different from the past,reflecting their rising bourgeoisie stance and the bio-politics of“making people live”and“letting animals live”.Nevertheless,their bio-politics of animals is not free of a“state of exception”,by which the animal life can be plundered at will.
