摘　　要：麦凯恩的《歌犬》借助印第安纳瓦霍族创世神话中的“郊狼”意象,在重建墨西哥—爱尔兰混血家庭的家族谱系的过程中,构建了不同时期、不同文化之间的生态共同体。歌犬的“嚎叫”喻示了宇宙的诞生及两次世界大战期间跨洋的生态灾难;叙述者康纳与父亲恰如“漫游的土狼”,在流散的过程中促成不同文化之间的生态对话;“复活的土狼”象征着在水流的推动下,父子最终达成了谅解。里昂斯一家近七十年的流散历史形成过去与现在两幅交相辉映的生态图景,体现了流动环境中的生态危机。借由“郊狼”图腾的隐现—死亡—复活的轮回,麦凯恩意在探寻生态共同体对个人与集体的救赎功能,神话图腾与自然景观抒写的背后,暗含着人类在后工业社会重构生态文明的诉求。In Colum McCann's Songdogs,the utilization of the Navajo tribe's creation myth symbol,the“coyote,”establishes an ecological community that transcends diverse cultures and eras.This reconstruction of an Irish-Mexican hybrid family's genealogy employs the metaphorical representation of the coyote's"howling"to signify both the inception of the universe and transnational ecological catastrophes during World Wars.The protagonist,Connor,resembling a"wandering coyote,"embarks on a journey in search of his mother,reconstructing ecological discourses among diverse cultures.The symbolism of the"resurrected coyote"represents father-son reconciliation catalyzed by water.The Lyons family's seven-decade diasporic history manifests as dual ecological landscapes mirroring both past and present,signifying an ecological crisis within mobile environments.McCann explores humanity's aspiration for the reconstruction of post-industrial society through cyclical narratives depicting the emergence,death,and resurrection of the coyote totema redemptive potential for individuals and collectives within ecological communities.
