摘　　要：因德拉·辛哈的《人们都叫我动物》是当代印度英语文学中的佳作,曾入围2007年布克奖。作者以印度人民真实遭遇的生态灾难为背景,探讨了在这一危机影响下的人、动物与自然环境的境遇,艺术地建构了“地缘共同体”“精神共同体”和“人与非人共同体”。通过对这三类共同体的刻画,辛哈展现了受到全球资本迫害下受灾民众的困境与互助,呼吁读者关注这些属于全人类的环境灾难;同时,他对人类对待动物与自然的态度进行了深刻反思,批判了人类中心主义思想,并传递了构建人与非人和谐共生的大共同体理念。Indra Sinha's Animal's People,shortlisted for the 2007 Booker Prize,stands as a masterpiece in contemporary Indian Anglophone literature:Against the backdrop of a real ecological catastrophe suffered by the Indian communities,the novel delves into the predicament faced by humans,animals,and the natural ecosystem impacted by the crisis,artistically constructing three forms of community:the geographical community,the moral community,and the of human and non-human beings community.Sinha's depiction of these three distinct communities serves to illustrate the challenges faced by those impacted by the persecution of global capitalism and further draws attention to the environmental catastrophes that concern all humanity.Moreover,Sinha's work prompts contemplation on humanity's relationship with animals and nature,conveying the concept of de-anthropocentrism while advocating for a grand vision of harmonious coexistence between humans and non-humans within a broader ecological community.
