Asbestos has long been a staple lesson for the precautionary principle. As a toxic material, it is often something people hope not to encounter. But before this, it often appeared as a substance of hope, carrying the promise of safety and economic rewards. This article uses these conflicting accounts of asbestos’s hope as a starting point for thinking about the conditions of hazardous hope. Turning to a vignette about an asbestos facility in Mike McCormack’s Solar Bones (2016), the article considers how stories of hazardous hope may produce a diminishment of hope. Rather than dismiss this as insufficiently hopeful, however, the article addresses the form of the novel as an exemplar of accessible experimentalism, suggesting it models new ways of communicating complex problems. If narrativizing hope demands an openness to multiple possible futures, then the form of such hope might need to defer resolution in much the same way as that adopted by modernist writing.
长期以来,石棉一直是预防原则的主要教训。作为一种有毒物质,它往往是人们希望不要遇到的东西。但在此之前,它常常作为一种希望之物出现,承载着安全和经济回报的承诺。本文以这些关于石棉希望的相互矛盾的描述为出发点,思考危险希望的条件。文章以迈克-麦科马克(Mike McCormack)的《太阳之骨》(Solar Bones,2016 年)中一个关于石棉设施的小故事为切入点,探讨了危险希望的故事如何可能导致希望的减弱。然而,文章并没有将此视为希望不足,而是将小说的形式作为无障碍实验主义的典范,指出它是传播复杂问题的新方式的楷模。如果叙述希望需要对多种可能的未来持开放态度,那么这种希望的形式可能需要推迟解决,就像现代主义写作采用的方式一样。

Maroon Anti-necropolitics 马龙人反国家政治

This article describes Maroon anti-necropolitics and its implications for multispecies justice to aid in creating a genuinely decolonial Caribbean ecological theory. Ndyuka Maroons, the descendants of one nation of self-liberated formerly enslaved Black Surinamese peoples, have created a cosmopolitical order based on the refusal of necropolitics (which is the assumption that politics must be predicated on the sovereign human appropriation of the right to kill or let die). In its place, Ndyukas practice an ethics of sociality premised on the shared collective vulnerability of present and future generations to the consequences of acts of killing. This Maroon anti-necropolitics has three primary principles: (1) death always relates specific deaths to future collective harm; (2) humans do not have a sovereign right to death over the lives of others; and (3) death does not rupture relations between the living and the dead, or the community and its enemies, but intensifies them by imposing ineradicable connections of tragic loss between perpetrators and victims. Ndyukas accordingly articulate a theory of relational justice that rejects human sovereignty while emphasizing human responsibility. This article illustrates how Maroons have imagined a world beyond necropolitics and why this helps confront the ways in which necropolitical assumptions inflect how multispecies justice is imagined.
本文介绍了马龙人的反亡灵政治学及其对多物种正义的影响,以帮助创建真正的非殖民加勒比生态理论。恩迪卡-马龙人是一个曾经被奴役的自我解放的苏里南黑人民族的后裔,他们在拒绝 "死亡政治学"(即认为政治必须以人类对杀戮或死亡权利的主权占有为前提)的基础上建立了一种世界政治秩序。取而代之的是,恩杜卡人奉行一种社会性伦理,其前提是今世后代对杀戮行为后果的共同集体脆弱性。这种马龙人反生态政治学有三个主要原则:(1)死亡总是将具体的死亡与未来的集体伤害联系在一起;(2)人类没有凌驾于他人生命之上的死亡主权;(3)死亡不会破坏生者与死者或社区与敌人之间的关系,而是通过在肇事者和受害者之间强加不可磨灭的悲剧性损失联系来强化这种关系。因此,Ndyukas 阐明了一种关系正义理论,它反对人类主权,同时强调人类责任。本文阐述了马龙人如何想象一个超越亡灵政治的世界,以及为什么这有助于正视亡灵政治假设如何影响多物种正义的想象。

Ho‘ailona Ho'ailona

This article asks what it means for conservation scientists to label a member of an endangered, endemic species homeless. By considering the boundary-crossing figure of Ho‘ailona, a partially blind Hawaiian monk seal who was declared homeless and translocated six times between 2008 and 2009, the article argues that the language of home points to the ongoing operations of colonialism in Western conservation. Reading the discourse of homelessness offers a methodology for tracing the histories and manifestations of colonial logics as they circulate in conservation science. At the same time, the article considers how Kānaka Maoli articulated a contrapuntal claim to home that positioned Ho‘ailona as belonging in his natal waters and among a multispecies community of caregivers. Bringing together critical homelessness studies and settler colonial studies, the essay examines how settler societies and institutions use endangered marine species to make specific claims to home and, by extension, erase Indigenous claims to place.
本文探讨了保护科学家给濒危特有物种成员贴上 "无家可归 "标签的意义。通过对半身失明的夏威夷僧海豹 Ho'ailona 这一跨界人物的研究,文章认为,"家 "的语言指向了殖民主义在西方自然保护中的持续运作。解读无家可归者的话语为追踪殖民逻辑在保护科学中的历史和表现提供了方法。同时,文章还探讨了卡纳卡-毛利人(Kānaka Maoli)是如何表达对家园的双重诉求的,这种诉求将 Ho'ailona 定位为属于他的故乡水域和多物种照料者社区。文章将批判性无家可归问题研究和殖民定居者研究结合起来,探讨了定居者社会和机构如何利用濒危海洋物种对家园提出具体要求,并进而消除土著人对地方的要求。

Uncertain Waters and Irony in Australian Settler Literatures 澳大利亚定居者文学中的不确定水域和讽刺意味
IF 1.2 N/A HUMANITIES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2024-07-01 DOI: 10.1215/22011919-11150139

Critics are increasingly recognizing the presence of irony in environmental cultures, often stressing its ability to highlight disjunctions between the individual’s convictions and their compromised behaviors. This article extends this work by taking up the relationship between irony and settler-colonial imaginaries in writings about unpredictable bodies of water. Focusing on settler writing in Australia, the article juxtaposes nineteenth-century author Henry Lawson and contemporary novelist Jane Rawson to argue that irony constitutes a form of environmental knowledge, calling up norms and hierarchies regarding water but also creating openings toward waters that cannot be given meaning. Lawson’s writings about ephemeral rivers and lakes stress their divergence from metropolitan ideas of water’s continuity, presence, and visibility. Largely ignoring Indigenous peoples’ relationships with water, his ironies of overturned expectations and norms make contact with but also disparage water in unfamiliar forms. By contrast, Rawson’s A Wrong Turn at the Office of Unmade Lists (2013) employs irony to grasp how climate-changed floodwater disrupts settler norms founded upon the erasure of floodplains and of Indigenous and colonial histories of urban rivers. Juxtaposing Rawson with Lawson illuminates an ongoing need to be cautious about the ideals that irony may evoke in response to changing and uncertain waters. At the same time, irony provides a multivalent tool to critically address what Mark Rifkin calls “settler common sense,” to glimpse the persistence of Indigenous knowledge and perspectives, and to acknowledge occluded forms of environmental agency.
越来越多的评论家认识到环境文化中存在反讽,通常强调反讽能够凸显个人信念与妥协行为之间的脱节。本文对这一研究进行了延伸,探讨了在有关不可预知的水体的写作中,反讽与定居者殖民想象之间的关系。文章以澳大利亚定居者的写作为重点,将十九世纪作家亨利-劳森(Henry Lawson)和当代小说家简-罗森(Jane Rawson)并列,论证了反讽构成了一种环境知识,它唤起了关于水的规范和等级制度,但同时也为那些无法被赋予意义的水体开辟了道路。劳森关于短暂河流和湖泊的著作强调它们与大都市关于水的连续性、存在性和可见性的观念相背离。他基本上忽略了原住民与水的关系,他对被颠覆的期望和规范的讽刺,既接触了水,也贬低了陌生形式的水。相比之下,罗森的《A Wrong Turn at the Office of Unmade Lists》(2013 年)则运用反讽手法,揭示了气候变化的洪水如何扰乱了建立在抹杀洪泛区以及城市河流的土著和殖民历史基础上的定居者规范。将罗森与劳森并列在一起,揭示了在应对不断变化和不确定的洪水时,我们始终需要谨慎对待反讽可能唤起的理想。同时,反讽提供了一种多用途工具,可以批判性地解决马克-里夫金(Mark Rifkin)所说的 "定居者常识 "问题,窥见土著知识和观点的持久性,并承认环境机构的隐蔽形式。

Hazardous Hope 危险的希望

This special section seeks to reconsider our troubled times and their histories of irreversible toxic pollution through the lens of hopeful yet critical ways of engaging with this unprecedented condition of life. Thinking with “hazardous hope” as a tool of analysis, the five contributions—combining perspectives from ecocriticism, environmental philosophy, film studies, visual arts, and history—showcase alternative presents and futures of living responsibly with a permanently polluted planet. Writing from the perspective of hazardous hope, the section’s editors argue, includes a plethora of conceptual and methodological repositionings to embrace the ambiguity that comes with living responsibly on a permanently polluted planet. Among them is a shift in focus on the acts and modes of hazardous hope as a relational practice that is focused on reorganizing established processes in radically different ways rather than wishing to achieve a predefined outcome, while at the same time remaining mindful of the polluted status quo. Contributions in this special section are situated across the entire troubled planet, from Chernobyl’s exclusion zone to Brazilian oil fields and from Canada’s tar sands to British asbestos-loaded homes.
本专栏旨在通过充满希望而又具有批判性的方式,重新审视我们这个动荡不安的时代及其不可逆转的有毒污染历史,探讨如何应对这种前所未有的生活状况。五篇文章以 "危险的希望 "为分析工具,融合了生态批评、环境哲学、电影研究、视觉艺术和历史学的视角,展示了负责任地与长期污染的地球共存的另一种现状和未来。本节编辑认为,从危险希望的角度进行写作,包括大量概念和方法上的重新定位,以接受在永久污染的地球上负责任地生活所带来的模糊性。其中包括将重点转移到危险希望的行为和模式上,将其视为一种关系实践,其重点是以完全不同的方式重新组织既定的过程,而不是希望实现预先确定的结果,同时保持对污染现状的关注。从切尔诺贝利的禁区到巴西的油田,从加拿大的焦油砂到英国满是石棉的住宅,整个动荡不安的地球上都有我们的作品。

Narrating Extinctions for Survivance 叙事灭绝以求生存

This article navigates the obligatory relationship between extinction narratives and future imaginaries through the lens of an artist’s films. Taking Chinese artist Mao Chenyu’s works as case studies, the first part examines the notion of extinction that his video essay Becoming Father (2021) complicates through the perspective of rice (Oryza sativa) and humans in Dongting Lake. It reveals adaptive evolution, hetero-reproduction, and geontopower as three political regimes where extinctive pressures accumulate through the erosion of biocultural inheritability. The second part engages with this tripartite politics by questing for alternative models of inheritance from Mao’s ethnographic films. It centers on how the artist invests in shamanist, geomantic, and animist practices to envision alternative modes of inheritance. Based on this, the article argues that the conception of extinction beyond mass death demands counterextinction measures to aim for more than survival. This volition can be summarized by the term survivance, an ethical way of living in end-times. It concludes by contextualizing Mao’s work in post–Green Revolution China, where a logic of survival has driven mass extinction. On this basis, it proposes that extinction studies could benefit from cultivating a historical consciousness, especially regarding how extinctions are connected to the ideological underpinning of specific Anthropocene processes.
本文通过一位艺术家的电影作品,探讨了灭绝叙事与未来想象之间的必然关系。以中国艺术家毛晨宇的作品为案例,第一部分通过洞庭湖中水稻(Oryza sativa)和人类的视角,探讨了他的视频散文《成为父亲》(2021)所复杂化的灭绝概念。它揭示了适应性进化、异种繁殖和地缘权力这三种政治体制,在这三种体制中,灭绝的压力通过侵蚀生物文化的可继承性而不断累积。第二部分通过从毛泽东的民族志电影中探寻传承的替代模式,参与到这三方政治中。文章的中心是艺术家如何通过萨满教、地母教和万物有灵论的实践来设想替代性的继承模式。在此基础上,文章认为,超越大规模死亡的灭绝概念要求采取反灭绝措施,目的不仅仅是为了生存。这种意志可以用 "生存 "一词来概括,即一种在末世中的伦理生活方式。文章最后将毛泽东在绿色革命后的中国的工作与中国的生存逻辑相结合,在中国,生存逻辑推动了大规模灭绝。在此基础上,文章提出,灭绝研究可以从培养历史意识中获益,特别是关于灭绝如何与特定人类世进程的意识形态基础相关联。

Heroic Fear 英雄的恐惧
IF 2.3 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-03-01 DOI: 10.1215/22011919-10943145
Daniel Haines
The image of the heroic adventurer, who shot big game or traveled remote regions of the earth, populated the British Empire’s exploration and hunting narratives. Scholars have done much to deconstruct this image but have so far barely touched on the emotional dimensions of encounters between Britons and dangerous natural environments in tropical colonies. This article combines literary-historical criticism with a history of emotions perspective to show how the expression or, alternately, elision of fear in adventure memoirs helped to frame encounters with wild animals and sheer topography as part of imperialism’s moral project. It analyzes texts that recount events in and around India and parts of Africa, published between the 1890s and 1940s. The article’s author discusses a range of authors from obscure settlers and army officers to well-known proponents of the adventure genre such as Mary Kingsley, Jim Corbett, and Francis Kingdon-Ward. Together, these accounts demonstrated that fear held a legitimate and powerful place in heroic imperial narratives by helping readers to identify with the danger that a narrator had to overcome. Narratives of fear increased in number and forthrightness after the First World War, highlighting the impact of the wider British questioning of prewar models of heroic masculinity on imperial adventure literature.
在大英帝国的探险和狩猎叙事中,充满了射杀大型猎物或游历地球偏远地区的英雄冒险家形象。学者们在解构这一形象方面做了大量工作,但迄今为止几乎没有触及英国人在热带殖民地与危险自然环境相遇时的情感层面。本文将文学史批评与情感史视角相结合,展示探险回忆录中对恐惧的表达,或者说是对恐惧的淡化,是如何帮助将与野生动物和险峻地形的相遇定格为帝国主义道德工程的一部分。文章分析了 19 世纪 90 年代至 20 世纪 40 年代出版的叙述印度及其周边地区和非洲部分地区事件的文章。文章作者讨论了一系列作者,从默默无闻的定居者和军官,到玛丽-金斯利、吉姆-科贝特和弗朗西斯-金顿-沃德等探险体裁的知名拥护者。这些叙述共同表明,恐惧在帝国英雄叙事中占有合法而有力的地位,它帮助读者认同叙述者必须克服的危险。第一次世界大战后,恐惧叙事的数量和直率程度都有所增加,这凸显了英国人对战前英雄男子气概模式的广泛质疑对帝国冒险文学的影响。

Experimenting with Water-Focused Participatory Research Methods 尝试以水为重点的参与式研究方法
IF 2.3 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-03-01 DOI: 10.1215/22011919-10943185

Recent decades have seen a transformation in how water and human-water interrelations are conceptualized in the environmental humanities and social sciences. Such adaptation of theory has been tied to an interest in developing transdisciplinary water research methodologies, particularly in projects focused on practical outcomes. Nonetheless, this article’s authors note an incongruence in how such advances in theory are often not actually applied in practice. Going a small way toward addressing this, the authors argue that there is space for experimenting with more-than-human participatory research praxes to intentionally generate previously imponderable questions. This article describes the authors’ experiences in Aarhus, Denmark, of combining “floating seminar” and arts-based methods, including body maps and public engagement. Through these experiences with passersby-who-became-participants, and with the nonhuman world, the authors’ attentions were drawn to unexpected issues and questions centered on human-water relationships. Here, they reflect on emerging methodologies, and invite curious others to join them in developing them further.
近几十年来,环境人文和社会科学领域对水和人与水之间相互关系的概念化方式发生了转变。这种理论调整与开发跨学科水研究方法的兴趣息息相关,特别是在注重实际成果的项目中。然而,本文作者注意到,这些理论上的进步往往没有实际应用到实践中,这是不协调的。为了解决这个问题,作者认为,可以尝试采用超人类参与式研究方法,有意识地提出以前无法思考的问题。本文介绍了作者在丹麦奥胡斯将 "浮动研讨会 "与艺术方法(包括人体地图和公众参与)相结合的经验。通过这些与成为参与者的路人以及非人类世界相处的经历,作者的注意力被吸引到以人与水的关系为中心的意想不到的问题上。在此,他们对新出现的方法进行了反思,并邀请有好奇心的人与他们一起进一步发展这些方法。

Such adaptation of theory has been tied to an interest in developing transdisciplinary water research methodologies, particularly in projects focused on practical outcomes. Nonetheless, this article’s authors note an incongruence in how such advances in theory are often not actually applied in practice. Going a small way toward addressing this, the authors argue that there is space for experimenting with more-than-human participatory research praxes to intentionally generate previously imponderable questions. This article describes the authors’ experiences in Aarhus, Denmark, of combining “floating seminar” and arts-based methods, including body maps and public engagement. Through these experiences with passersby-who-became-participants, and with the nonhuman world, the authors’ attentions were drawn to unexpected issues and questions centered on human-water relationships.
