Abstract: This paper, based on two types of “nature” in Romantic-period nature writing, analyzes the dual intervention of contemporary information technology and digital intelligence on both the external and internal nature of humanity, leading to a shift in the concept of “nature” within the perspective of contemporary ecological poetics. The post-human figure of the “cyborg,” which represents a significant symbol of technological invasion into the natural ecosystem of the human body, epitomizes technology’s involvement in the material natural state of the body. The problem caused by the impact of technology on humanity’s interior spiritual ecology is primarily represented in the situation of creativity and imagination. This evolving conception of “nature” compels us to reevaluate the human-technology relationship, raise new ethical questions about technological applications, strengthen ecological consciousness, and advance social civilization.

摘要: 本文基于浪漫主义时期自然写作中的两类“自然”,分析了当代信息与数智技术发展对人类自身外在自然和内在自然的双重干预,及其导致的当代生态诗学视阈下“自然”概念的转向。技术对人类身体的物质性外在自然状态进行干预,以“赛博格”为代表的后人类成为技术入侵人自身外在自然生态的重要文学表征;技术对人类内在自然精神生态造成的危机,主要体现为创造力与想象力的困境。此种“自然”概念的当代转向,促使我们重新审视人与技术的关系,并对技术的应用提出新的伦理命题,推动生态意识的提升和社会文明的进步。
