초록

William Wordsworth critically examines the picturesque which has dictated the cultural consumption of the landscape in his time in an attempt to envision an alternative communities through his revised descriptive mode. This thesis implies two questions that need to be answered. First, in what ways does Wordsworth move beyond the binary of the subject/object and of humans and nonhumans? Second, what might be the features of the environmentally-friendly communities he is proposing which work on the affinities between humans and nonhumans? To response to these questions, this essay proposes the following arguments. First, Wordsworth’s ideas of communities are not limited to human elements alone but allow things to enjoy their legitimate agential power and rights. Second, “Tintern Abbey” proposes an alternative realm in which the humans and the nonhuman others together arrange and are arranged by the historicity of the life of things. Third, concepts such as “mood,” “affection,” and “joy” serve as clues to figuring out the features of Wordsworth’s alternative communities. Fourth, that the manmade objects such as “Tintern Abbey” and ironworks are absent from the main body of the poem gives helpful hints as to the life of things which sustains itself through the ecological interdependence between humans and nonhumans.

Abstract

William Wordsworth critically examines the picturesque which has dictated the cultural consumption of the landscape in his time in an attempt to envision an alternative communities through his revised descriptive mode. This thesis implies two questions that need to be answered. First, in what ways does Wordsworth move beyond the binary of the subject/object and of humans and nonhumans? Second, what might be the features of the environmentally-friendly communities he is proposing which work on the affinities between humans and nonhumans? To response to these questions, this essay proposes the following arguments. First, Wordsworth’s ideas of communities are not limited to human elements alone but allow things to enjoy their legitimate agential power and rights. Second, “Tintern Abbey” proposes an alternative realm in which the humans and the nonhuman others together arrange and are arranged by the historicity of the life of things. Third, concepts such as “mood,” “affection,” and “joy” serve as clues to figuring out the features of Wordsworth’s alternative communities. Fourth, that the manmade objects such as “Tintern Abbey” and ironworks are absent from the main body of the poem gives helpful hints as to the life of things which sustains itself through the ecological interdependence between humans and nonhumans.
