초록
In Flight Behavior, Barbara Kingsolver seemingly polarizes the epistemology employed in investigating why monarch butterflies have happened to aggregate in a small Appalachian community in rural Tennessee; People in the community believe that their territory is blessed by God whereas Dr. Byron, a butterfly scientist, looks for a scientific reasoning. In other words, how to reason one natural phenomenon is dualized into apriorism and scientific experience. Byron asserts that the abnormal migration of monarchs is a freakish biological event caused by climate change while it is a miracle to church-goers in the town. The dualized epistemology is unified in Dellarobia's vision. Significantly enough, her holistic vision could galvanize ecocriticism or eco-friendly consciousness to the extent that it is on the same track with Deweyan organic metaphysics, because epistemological organity entails no exclusion of otherness. All that Byron has to do as a scientist is measure and count scientific data, and tell what is scientifically true. However, Dellarobia's organic vision motivates her to do ethical practice toward survival of the monarchs as well as her own new world. Surely, her reciprocal reasoning is expected to enliven pro-environmental voices, which is also needed in today's environmental politics as well as the relevant literary community.
Abstract
In Flight Behavior, Barbara Kingsolver seemingly polarizes the epistemology employed in investigating why monarch butterflies have happened to aggregate in a small Appalachian community in rural Tennessee; People in the community believe that their territory is blessed by God whereas Dr. Byron, a butterfly scientist, looks for a scientific reasoning. In other words, how to reason one natural phenomenon is dualized into apriorism and scientific experience. Byron asserts that the abnormal migration of monarchs is a freakish biological event caused by climate change while it is a miracle to church-goers in the town. The dualized epistemology is unified in Dellarobia's vision. Significantly enough, her holistic vision could galvanize ecocriticism or eco-friendly consciousness to the extent that it is on the same track with Deweyan organic metaphysics, because epistemological organity entails no exclusion of otherness. All that Byron has to do as a scientist is measure and count scientific data, and tell what is scientifically true. However, Dellarobia's organic vision motivates her to do ethical practice toward survival of the monarchs as well as her own new world. Surely, her reciprocal reasoning is expected to enliven pro-environmental voices, which is also needed in today's environmental politics as well as the relevant literary community.
