Olga Tokarchuk,a famous contemporary Polish writer,is the winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize for Literature.With the touch of a forest witch,she constructed a diverse space in which men and women,nature and reason,culture and madness coexist in opposition in her works,making her works show a life form that crosses borders.Based on Poland’s special "geopolitics" and colonial history,and based on the perspective of eco-feminism,this paper makes a comprehensive and profound interpretation of Olga Tokarchuk’s works,aiming to analyze his attempts to break the binary opposition and build a pluralistic and integrated world in his works,and dig the value and practical significance of Olga Tokarchuk’s novels.First of all,Olga Tokarchuk focused on the "other" who was aphasic due to absence in modern society,created the concrete image of the "other" represented by women and nature and the abstract image of the "other" represented by body and death,revealed the dual discipline of the body and spirit of women in the patriarchal society,and more profoundly revealed how the internal power structure of human society operates between man and nature,spirit and body In the relationship between life and death.Secondly,Olga Tokarchuk shows in his works the resistance and breakthrough of the "other" against Logos centrism.Through the revolt of women inside and outside the works,the reflection of scientific myths and the attempt to reconstruct the worship of nature,the ecological integration of regional construction and body writing,Tokarchuk confronts the binary opposition,and deconstructs the Logos central theme represented by masculinism and anthropocentrism.Thirdly,in his works,Olga Tokarchuk shows an attempt to construct an idealized pluralistic world.By breaking the gender barrier,excavating "materiality" and "spirituality",and establishing a community of destiny,Tokarchuk tried to build a harmonious and integrated world of androgyny,animism,and the common destiny of mankind and the universe.Finally,Olga Tokarchuk’s eco-female writing has unique value and significance.In the history of Polish literature,Tokarchuk’s creation not only inherits the tradition,but also has personal characteristics,and is more contemporary and cosmopolitan;In the history of world literature,Tokarchuk’s ecological women’s writing vision is more open and diverse,and the content and form are exquisite and realistic.At the same time,Tokarchuk’s eco-female writing has great significance in promoting the development of eco-feminist theory and the transformation of the world today.
