Abstract

This chapter reconnects modes of futures-making with the requirements of democracy by focusing on the naturalization of nuclear weapons and their removal from the realm of democratic choice at a particular point in time. The chapter revolves around the concept of ‘nuclear eternity’ as a means of reducing public choices about the use of nuclear weapons. It critiques the idea that nuclear weapons have always been perceived as ‘here to stay’ and reassesses the dominant narrative about the 1960s as an emancipatory decade by arguing that the decade actually witnessed a significant shrinking of future political possibilities. Finally, the chapter identifies three shapes of the future which produce ‘nuclear eternity’—an absent post-nuclear future, an inconsistent post-nuclear future, and a disconnected post-nuclear future—and illustrates them with historical examples

核永恒的诞生
本章通过关注核武器的归化及其在特定时间点从民主选择领域中移除,将未来制定模式与民主的要求重新联系起来。这一章围绕着“核永恒”的概念,作为减少公众对使用核武器的选择的一种手段。它批评了核武器一直被视为“存在”的观点,并重新评估了20世纪60年代作为解放十年的主导叙事,认为这十年实际上见证了未来政治可能性的显著缩小。最后,本章确定了产生“核永恒”的未来的三种形态——不存在的后核未来、不一致的后核未来和不连贯的后核未来——并以历史实例加以说明
