| 总结: | This article seeks to analyze a contextually-reflexive reading of Genesis 1:26-31 that was produced by a group of contemporary “ordinary” readers - in this case, a group of South Derbyshire coal miners. The coal miners used Genesis 1:26-31 as a literary platform upon which they interrogated two principal issues: How ‘masculinity’ is constructed, performed, understood, enforced, and legitimized in coal mining culture; and, what the relationship is between humanity and Earth. This resulted in a reading whereby an attempt was made to synthesize how a man’s understanding of ‘masculinity’ impacts upon his relationship with, and attitude towards, Earth. |
