摘要：  工具理性霸权源于现代社会人类对知识及其技术产品极度推崇的信仰，体现为对绝对技术理性的追求，贬斥了人的感性价值，造成了人性的异化。根据后现代空间理论，这种异化总是凭借资本向乡村空间的流动，以机械文明对乡村空间的侵入为表征，从发达地区蔓延到发展中地区，客观上提出了人性救赎的问题。阿特伍德的小说《浮现》生动地展现了这种蔓延，并通过对工具理性霸权所造成的人性异化的描绘，对其展开揭露和批判，同时提出回归自然的人性救赎之途。《浮现》在创作理念上远超过一般的生态女性主义作品，在全球化背景下独具现实意义。

Abstract:  The hegemony of instrumental reason has roots in modern man's excessive worship of knowledge and technical products, and is embodied in the pursuit of absolute technological rationality, which has resulted in the devaluation of human emotion and the alienation of man. From the perspective of postmodern space theory, with the influx of capital, such alienation expands from cities to the countryside and from developed regions to the developing ones, and is manifest in the invasion of the rural space by mechanical civilization. This makes human redemption an important concern of modern age. In her novel Surfacing, Margaret Atwood vividly depicts the expansion of alienation due to the hegemony of instrumental reason and while offering a powerful critique of the hegemony, she also suggests possibilities for human redemption through a return to nature. Hence, Surfacing is to be read not just a work of ecofeminism but as one that has greater relevance to us in a world of globalization.
