Abstract In this text and image essay, I introduce a new concept to the environmental humanities; one which seeks to trouble metaphysical notions of dwelling by combining the idea of home (the oikos in ecology) with a notion of permanent becoming. In this way, home loses its conservative and reactionary connotations with atavistic origins and identities and instead is opened up to nonhuman forces and powers. As I explain in the opening section, bec(h)oming is a matter of affect; it depends upon the capacity of bodies to move beyond themselves, to be impressed and transformed by the environments which they move through, to tap what the philosopher Gilbert Simondon might see as the “pre-individual” energy that runs through all organisms. Humans are no exception; they, too, are caught in the flux and flow. By focusing on bodies, the essay not only looks to depart from conventional narrative-based notions of ecocriticism and theatre ecology, it aims to provide a lexicon, a new idiom for thinking through corporeal ecologies that are attuned to sensations, the virtual play of a cosmic Earth. To do that, the text provides the first detailed account of the work and practices of influential UK movement artist Simon Whitehead, whose Locator workshop has proved pivotal for so many dancers, choreographers, and artists over the past few decades. Integral to the paper is a desire to experiment with alternative modes of writing, a style that would express the enthusiasms of bec(h)omings and give some sense of its somatic potential.
在本文和图像文章中,我引入了一个新的概念,环境人文;一个试图通过将家的概念(生态学中的oikos)与永久形成的概念相结合来困扰形而上学的居住概念的人。通过这种方式,家失去了其保守和反动的内涵,具有返祖的起源和身份,而是向非人类的力量和力量开放。正如我在开头部分所解释的,因为(h)到来是一个情感问题;它取决于身体超越自身的能力,取决于身体对所处环境的印象和改变,取决于挖掘哲学家吉尔伯特·西蒙顿(Gilbert Simondon)所说的贯穿于所有生物体的“前个体”能量的能力。人类也不例外;他们也被困在流动和流动中。通过关注身体,这篇文章不仅试图脱离传统的基于叙事的生态批评和戏剧生态学的概念,它旨在提供一个词汇,一个新的成语,通过与感觉相协调的身体生态来思考,一个宇宙地球的虚拟游戏。为了做到这一点,本书首次详细介绍了有影响力的英国运动艺术家西蒙·怀特黑德的作品和实践。在过去的几十年里,他的定位工作室对许多舞者、编舞家和艺术家来说都是至关重要的。论文中不可或缺的部分是想要尝试另一种写作模式,一种能够表达bec(h)omings的热情并赋予其躯体潜力的风格。

Playing the Petrocene: Toxicity and Intoxication in Leigh Fondakowski’s Spill and Ella Hickson’s Oil 扮演新石器时代:Leigh Fondakowski的Spill和Ella Hickson的Oil中的毒性和陶醉

Abstract Ella Hickson’s Oil (2016) and Leigh Fondakowski’s Spill (2014) make palpable to their audiences what I call the Petrocene: the age in which human existence has become impossible to conceive without oil. Each play illuminates the pervasive presence of petroleum infrastructures in its own way: while Spill focuses on the specific and sensational crisis of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, Oil presents a series of scenes which focus on two women (mother and daughter) who struggle to carve out their existence in various time periods and in the context of different fossil-energy regimes. Both plays succeed in unveiling not only the toxicity of extractive regimes necessary to fuel the Petrocene, but also the toxicity of the narratives that uphold extractive regimes and their attendant injustices. Moreover, both plays convey the intoxicating effects of oil, which appears as a near-magical substance that promises unfettered progress and access to the good life. Examining these plays in conjunction not only highlights the increasing presence of ecological concerns in dramatic pieces, but also illustrates the ways in which dramatic performance can distill enormous oil infrastructures into apprehensible worlds and thus create vital spaces for pondering the Petrocene.
摘要埃拉·希克森(Ella Hickson)的《石油》(Oil)(2016)和利·方达科夫斯基(Leigh Fondakowski。每一部戏剧都以自己的方式阐明了石油基础设施的普遍存在:《石油泄漏》聚焦于2010年英国石油公司在墨西哥湾发生的石油泄漏这场具体而轰动的危机,《石油》呈现了一系列场景,聚焦于两位女性(母亲和女儿),她们在不同的时间段和不同的化石能源制度背景下努力生存。这两部剧不仅成功地揭示了为中石油新世提供燃料所必需的采掘制度的毒性,还揭示了维护采掘制度及其随之而来的不公正的叙事的毒性。此外,这两部剧都传达了石油令人陶醉的效果,石油似乎是一种近乎神奇的物质,它承诺着不受约束的进步和美好生活。将这些戏剧结合起来研究,不仅突出了戏剧作品中日益增加的生态问题,而且还说明了戏剧表演如何将巨大的石油基础设施提炼成令人担忧的世界,从而为思考中新世创造重要空间。

Symptomatic Spaces: Adam Rapp and American Eco-Drama in the Anthropocene 症状空间:亚当·拉普与人类世的美国生态剧

Abstract This article situates two works by contemporary American playwright Adam Rapp – Faster (2002) and Ghosts in the Cottonwoods (2014) – in the wider context of the different traditions of ecological theatre that emerged in the United States in the twentieth century. These traditions can be characterised by their distinct spatial orientation, while similarly shifting focus away from the centrality of representing character and human subjectivity. Contemporary eco-drama retains this spatial orientation established by the landscape play (Gertrude Stein) and environmental theatre (Richard Schechner) but breaks with their displacement of character by developing an aesthetic mode which stages the formation of human subjectivity as deeply intertwined with concrete places. This article shows how Rapp’s plays turn places into “symptomatic spaces” in Una Chaudhuri’s sense that signify a deep interdependence between human subjectivity and nonhuman nature. My reading focuses on how Rapp’s plays contribute to the formation and the conceptualisation of a distinctly “Anthropocenic imaginary” in contemporary American drama.
摘要本文将当代美国剧作家亚当·拉普的两部作品《更快》(2002)和《Cottonwoods的鬼魂》(2014)置于20世纪美国出现的不同生态戏剧传统的更广泛背景下。这些传统可以以其独特的空间取向为特征,同时类似地将焦点从代表性格和人类主体性的中心转移开。当代生态戏剧保留了景观戏剧(格特鲁德·斯坦因饰)和环境戏剧(理查德·谢什内尔饰)确立的这种空间取向,但通过发展一种美学模式打破了它们对人物的位移,这种美学模式将人的主体性的形成与具体场所深深交织在一起。这篇文章展示了拉普的戏剧如何将地方变成乌娜·乔杜里意义上的“症状空间”,这意味着人类主体性和非人性之间的深刻相互依存。我的阅读重点是拉普的戏剧如何有助于当代美国戏剧中一个明显的“人类想象”的形成和概念化。

Alienation, Abjection, and Disgust: Encountering the Capitalocene in Contemporary Eco-Drama 异化、唾弃与厌恶:在当代生态戏剧中遭遇资本

Abstract “We are shaped, to a greater extent than almost any other species, by contact with others. [. . .] Yet what counts now is to win. [. . .] And for this, we have ripped the natural world apart” (Monbiot). This quote stems from a Guardian article that is also printed as an epigraph in Tanya Ronder’s 2015 play Fuck the Polar Bears, and it reveals the connection between the Capitalocene, as described by Jason W. Moore, and contemporary eco-drama: both thematise the “Age of Loneliness” (Monbiot) in which everyone fights against each other. In contemporary drama, this behaviour is frequently reflected in the depiction of isolation and alienation from nature that is expressed in the form of disgust, for instance, by making objects that are associated with nature literally or metaphorically disgusting.To various degrees, the depiction of the Capitalocene in combination with disgust and abjection can be found in Fuck the Polar Bears as well as in Dawn King’s 2011 play Foxfinder. In both plays, disgust is depicted as degrading the relationship between humans and nonhuman nature. The dichotomy of nature and culture then lines up to “a seemingly endless series of human exclusions” (Moore, Introduction 2) and alienates humans from nature. In these plays, a random disgusting object functions as substitute for the border between humans and nature. By making toy polar bears or foxes disgusting, the border between humans and nature, and to some extent between humans and other humans, is redrawn, which leads to an increased sense of isolation and alienation. Therefore, both plays use disgust as a technique to extrapolate the lack of interconnection between humans and nature, which comments on the competitive, isolating, and destructive nature of the Capitalocene.
摘要“与其他物种相比,我们在很大程度上是通过与他人的接触而形成的。[…]然而,现在重要的是胜利。[……]为此,我们撕裂了自然世界”(蒙比奥)。这句话源于《卫报》的一篇文章,该文章也被刊登在Tanya Ronder 2015年的戏剧《操北极熊》中,它揭示了Jason W.Moore所描述的Capitalocene与当代生态剧之间的联系:两者都将“孤独时代”(Monbiot)作为主题,在这个时代,每个人都在相互争斗。在当代戏剧中,这种行为经常反映在对自然的孤立和异化的描述中,这种描述以厌恶的形式表达,例如,通过使与自然相关的物体从字面上或隐喻上令人厌恶。在不同程度上,在《操北极熊》和道恩·金2011年的戏剧《狐狸探路者》中都可以找到对Capitalocene的描述,以及厌恶和厌恶。在这两部剧中,厌恶都被描述为贬低人与非人性之间的关系。自然和文化的二分法于是形成了“一系列看似无穷无尽的人类排斥”(Moore,引言2),并疏远了人类与自然的关系。在这些戏剧中,一个随意恶心的物体代替了人类和自然之间的边界。通过让玩具北极熊或狐狸恶心,人类与自然之间的边界,以及在某种程度上人类与其他人类之间的边界被重新划定,这导致了孤独感和疏离感的增加。因此,这两部剧都使用厌恶作为一种技术来推断人与自然之间缺乏联系,这评论了Capitalocene的竞争性、孤立性和破坏性。

An Art Like Nature: Theatre Environment as Territory in Tim Spooner Performances 像自然一样的艺术:蒂姆·斯普纳表演中的剧场环境

Abstract Tim Spooner has described his practice as “an increasingly complex series of live performances centred on the revelation of life in material.”1 In this article, I consider this revelation as the precondition of a theatre ecology. Spooner stages a theatrical encounter between bodies and environments, in which distinctions between person-thing, subject-object, self-other no longer hold. Whilst there are evident parallels between this practice and posthumanist, or new-materialist philosophy, I shall describe Spooner’s theatre as artlike.This article responds to two thematics outlined in the original call for papers for CDE 2021: “eco-spaces” and “eco-aesthetics.” The argument runs: 1) an ecological space is the result of an ecological aesthetics; theatre is considered fundamentally social, political in significance; art is fundamentally ecological in significance; 2) ecocritical theatre and theatre ecology are categorically distinct: in ecocriticism, political, social, and cultural concerns mediate a concern for nature; in a theatre ecology nature is reconstructed virtually; 3) ecocriticism stages a recognition of an ecological crisis in social terms; theatre ecology stages a revelation of an environment; 4) against theatre, there is legislation; 5) a theatre ecology extends a juxtapositional logic of political ecology: this is a false start and ill-timed.The argument leads to a reconstruction of three gestures drawn from three of Spooner’s performances. In these gestures, theatre is rendered artlike. The exposition describes Spooner’s practice in terms of embodiment and occupation, before considering how the ecological implications of an artlike theatre are, firstly and finally, ethical.
蒂姆·斯普纳(Tim Spooner)将他的实践描述为“一系列日益复杂的现场表演,以揭示物质中的生命为中心。在本文中,我认为这种启示是剧院生态的先决条件。斯普纳上演了一场身体与环境之间的戏剧性邂逅,在这场邂逅中,人-物、主体-客体、自我-他者之间的区别不再成立。虽然这种实践与后人类主义或新唯物主义哲学之间有明显的相似之处,但我将把斯普纳的戏剧描述为艺术。本文回应了CDE 2021最初征文中概述的两个主题:“生态空间”和“生态美学”。论证认为:1)生态空间是生态美学的产物;戏剧从根本上被认为具有社会和政治意义;艺术在本质上具有生态意义;2)生态批评戏剧和戏剧生态学是截然不同的:在生态批评中,政治、社会和文化关注调解了对自然的关注;在剧院中,生态自然被虚拟地重建;3)生态批评在社会层面上对生态危机的认识;剧场生态学是对一个环境的揭示;4)针对戏剧,有立法;戏剧生态学扩展了政治生态学的并置逻辑:这是一个错误的开始,不合时宜。这一论点导致了从斯普纳的三个表演中提取的三个手势的重建。在这些姿态中,戏剧被渲染得像艺术一样。在考虑艺术剧院的生态含义是如何首先和最终是伦理的之前,博览会从体现和职业的角度描述了斯普纳的实践。

Co-Mutability, Nodes, and the Mesh: Critical Theatre Ecologies – An Introduction 协同变异性、节点和网格:关键戏剧生态学——导论
IF 0.5 0 THEATER Pub Date : 2022-05-01 DOI: 10.1515/jcde-2022-0002
M. Middeke, Martin Riedelsheimer
Critical theatre ecologies are a field within the environmental humanities. Ecology is usually understood as “ the study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment ” ( “ What Is Ecology? ” ; see also Alaimo 100). It is therefore little wonder that notions of interconnected-ness and interrelationality are at the centre of an endeavour that seeks to trace the theatre ’ s ecologies. We use the term critical theatre ecologies , rather than theatre ecology , to try to do justice to the multitude of approaches, methodologies, and text- and performance-related phenomena the ecological engagements of the theatre entail. When we speak of critical theatre ecologies, we imply that each of these approaches, each methodology, and each reflection on these aforemen-tioned phenomena must always and necessarily entail a self-reflexive perspective that interrogates the avenues and the limitations of their theoretical horizons. make an appropriately complex diagnosis of the present. diagnosis, as we shall see in the articles collected in and The results of critical theatre ecologies are decisive answers and fresh perspectives to the central challenges of what the German sociol-ogist Ulrich Beck has influentially called “ world risk society. ” This special issue corroborates that what is needed are inter- and transdisciplinary approaches and thus the explicit participation and profiling of the arts, of the theatre in particular, and of the humanities in general. Texts are environmental, not simply because they are made of paper and ink that comes from trees and plants (or other terrestrial sources), or because they are sometimes about ecological matters. Reading is formally ecological, since in order to read we must take ac-count of the dark sides of things, as intimately connected to the “ lighter ” sides as the recto and verso of a piece of writing paper. Reading discovers a constantly flowing, shifting play of temporality, and a constant process of differentiation – like evolution. All texts are environmental: they organise the space around and within them into plays of meaning and non-meaning. ( “ Deconstruction and/as Ecology ” 292)
批判剧场生态学是环境人文学科的一个领域。生态学通常被理解为“研究包括人类在内的生物有机体与其自然环境之间关系的学科”(《什么是生态学?”;参见Alaimo 100)。因此,毫不奇怪,相互联系和相互关系的概念是试图追踪剧院生态的努力的核心。我们使用“批判戏剧生态学”这个术语,而不是“戏剧生态学”,试图公正地对待戏剧生态参与所带来的众多方法、方法论以及与文本和表演相关的现象。当我们谈到批判性戏剧生态学时,我们的意思是,每一种方法,每一种方法论,以及对上述现象的每一种反思,都必须始终而且必然地包含一种自我反思的视角,这种视角询问了它们的理论视野的途径和局限性。对现在做出适当的复杂诊断。批判性剧场生态学的结果是对德国社会学家乌尔里希·贝克(Ulrich Beck)颇具影响力地称之为“世界风险社会”的核心挑战的决定性答案和新鲜视角。这一特殊问题证实,我们需要的是跨学科和跨学科的方法,从而明确参与和描绘艺术,特别是戏剧,以及一般的人文学科。文本是环境的,不仅因为它们是由来自树木和植物(或其他陆地资源)的纸和墨水制成的,也因为它们有时是关于生态问题的。阅读在形式上是生态的,因为为了阅读,我们必须考虑到事物的阴暗面,就像一张书写纸的正反两面一样,与“光明”的一面紧密相连。阅读发现了一种不断流动、变化的时间性游戏,以及一种不断分化的进化过程。所有文本都是环境:它们将周围和内部的空间组织成有意义和无意义的游戏。(《解构与/作为生态学》292页)

Ecology is usually understood as “ the study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment ” ( “ What Is Ecology? ” ; see also Alaimo 100). It is therefore little wonder that notions of interconnected-ness and interrelationality are at the centre of an endeavour that seeks to trace the theatre ’ s ecologies. We use the term critical theatre ecologies , rather than theatre ecology , to try to do justice to the multitude of approaches, methodologies, and text- and performance-related phenomena the ecological engagements of the theatre entail. When we speak of critical theatre ecologies, we imply that each of these approaches, each methodology, and each reflection on these aforemen-tioned phenomena must always and necessarily entail a self-reflexive perspective that interrogates the avenues and the limitations of their theoretical horizons. make an appropriately complex diagnosis of the present. diagnosis, as we shall see in the articles collected in and The results of critical theatre ecologies are decisive answers and fresh perspectives to the central challenges of what the German sociol-ogist Ulrich Beck has influentially called “ world risk society. ” This special issue corroborates that what is needed are inter- and transdisciplinary approaches and thus the explicit participation and profiling of the arts, of the theatre in particular, and of the humanities in general. Texts are environmental, not simply because they are made of paper and ink that comes from trees and plants (or other terrestrial sources), or because they are sometimes about ecological matters.

Abstract This article considers how processes associated with reviving well-known plays can offer new theatrical approaches to the climate crisis. Such revivals can make visible ecological or environmental features that might have gone unnoticed in the past, but which can inspire agency and instil knowledge in the present. This idea is explored in relation to an Irish production of Caryl Churchill’s Far Away (2000), which was staged on an uninhabited island off the South Coast of Ireland in 2017 by Corcadorca Theatre Company. This production can be seen as offering a practical illustration of many of the theoretical ideas associated with theatre ecologies, especially for how Corcadorca blurred distinctions between audience and performers, indoors and outdoors, performance and spectatorship, past and present, and much more. This production should thus be seen as a case study that is worthy of analysis in its own right but which also allows for the identification of viable practices for the staging of theatrical revivals more generally.
摘要本文探讨了与复兴知名戏剧相关的过程如何为应对气候危机提供新的戏剧方法。这种复兴可以形成明显的生态或环境特征,这些特征在过去可能没有被注意到,但在现在可以激发能动性并灌输知识。这一想法是在爱尔兰制作的《卡里尔·丘吉尔的远方》(2000)中探讨的,该片于2017年由Corcadorca剧院公司在爱尔兰南海岸的一个无人岛上上演。这部作品可以被视为提供了与戏剧生态相关的许多理论思想的实用例证,尤其是Corcadorca如何模糊观众和表演者、室内和室外、表演和观众、过去和现在等之间的区别。因此,这部作品应该被视为一个案例研究,它本身就值得分析,但也有助于确定更广泛地上演戏剧复兴的可行做法。
