A Comparative Study of Energy White Papers between China and Britain from the Perspective of International Ecological Discourse
-
摘要: 文章采用国际生态话语系统视角,把能源白皮书视为重要的能源生态话语类型。收集中国和英国发布的能源白皮书,创建两个小型能源白皮书语料库。运用语料库检索软件,对高频词、检索行进行对比分析。语料库分析表明,中英两国的能源白皮书话语均主张采用技术创新路径应对化石能源困局。受能源禀赋、能源发展阶段及社会历史文化语境的影响,两国白皮书也呈现出明显的不同,面对能源困局和未来发展,中国能源白皮书体现出强烈的家国情怀和世界大同意识,更强调采取实际行动,务实解决问题;而英国则更倾向于采用二元对立思想,把能源转型视为国际能源技术和能源霸权角逐的战场。从国际生态话语角度来看,相较于英国,中国能源白皮书体现出更积极的生态意识,视国家为生命有机体,世界各国和而不同;能源资源是大自然的馈赠,人类应节约高效利用能源。文章倡议面对化石能源困局,人类应采用人与自然和谐的生态观,重塑人类的生活、习惯、组织形式和价值取向,从根本上实现从化石能源向可再生能源的彻底转型。Abstract: From a perspective of international ecological discourse, energy white papers are deemed as an important type of energy ecological discourse. Two small corpora consisting of energy white papers by China and Britain are created. Word frequency, collocation and keywords are analyzed and compared with the assistance of corpus software. Analysis reveals that both countries prioritize technological innovations as solutions to the fossil fuel impasse. Affected by energy endowment, energy development stage, and social, historical and cultural context, the white papers by China and Britain also show large differences. Facing energy impasse and uncertainty in future development, China's white papers are more action oriented, and solution-driven with strong international as well as domestic concerns, while Britain's are more entrenched in antagonism, on which world energy transition is deemed as a battlefield with energy technologies and polices as weapons. From the perspective of international ecological discourse, in comparison, China's energy whitepapers are more positive in terms of ecological stance in that it views state as an organic agent and all states in the world should be in harmony and in that mankind should save and use energy, the natural resources, efficiently. This paper ends with a suggestion that human beings should adopt a firm ecological stance by which reshaping man's life style, habit, ways of organization and value orientation is fundamental for the effective energy transition from fossil fuel dependence to renewable energy dependence.
