Abstract
This article discusses fear as a geographical concept that can contribute to contemporary debates about human relationships with oceans. Fear is an emotional response and state of being which permeates the mind and alters the body. In relationship with the material liveliness of an ocean, fear can feel alert, anxious, and uncomfortable, charged with anger, or coupled with shame. Fear with the ocean can also feel refreshing, bring into contrast experiences of thrill, play, and wonder, and inspire deep respect for Country. This research examines fear in conversation with ocean-people living on Yuin Gadu (Sea Country), Australia. Embracing a ‘wet ontology’ (Steinberg and Peters, 2015) we analyse fears that are embodied in ocean geographies and evolve in liquid ways, across place and time. The paper is framed with feminist understandings of the body, as it examines bodies in transformation, more-than-human assemblages, and the strategies used by ocean-people to navigate and negotiate with fear.
本文讨论了恐惧这一地理概念，它有助于当代关于人类与海洋关系的辩论。恐惧是一种情绪反应和存在状态，它渗透心灵并改变身体。在与海洋的物质活力发生关系时，恐惧会让人感到警觉、焦虑和不舒服，充满愤怒，或伴随着羞耻。恐惧与海洋的关系也会让人感觉神清气爽，带来刺激、游戏和惊奇的体验，激发对国家的深深敬意。本研究通过与生活在澳大利亚汤因加杜（海之国）的海洋人对话，探讨了恐惧问题。通过 "湿本体论"（Steinberg and Peters, 2015），我们分析了体现在海洋地理环境中的恐惧，这些恐惧在不同地点和时间以不同的方式演变。本文以女性主义对身体的理解为框架，探讨了转变中的身体、超人类的组合，以及海洋人用于驾驭和协商恐惧的策略。
