AbstractThe question of how individuals produce and reproduce geopolitical ideologies is central to critical geopolitics, but there is little consensus on how this process works or what methods can meaningfully interrogate it. This article brings together methods from critical geopolitics, history, and sociolinguistics to assess the development, dissemination, and trajectory of Anglo-Saxonism, a late-nineteenth century movement which sought to unite the white English-speaking peoples of the world based on the racial heritage and democratic socio-political institutions they allegedly shared. We investigate the archival material of two prominent historians central to this movement—E.A. Freeman and H.B. Adams—to examine their own statements about their work, introducing the concept of “geopolitical metanarratives” to link between intention and discourse. We find that as Freeman and Adams intentionally worked to advance the movement, they relied on a spatial imagination that emphasized the historical continuity of socio-political institutions as the key racialized geopolitical metanarrative that served to underpin their efforts. 批判地缘政治学的核心问题是: 个人如何产生和复制地缘政治意识形态。这一过程如何运作、什么方法可以有效地探究这一过程, 我们几乎没有共识。本文结合批判地缘政治学、历史学和社会语言学, 评估了盎格鲁-撒克逊主义的发展、传播和轨迹。盎格鲁-撒克逊主义是19世纪末的一场运动, 旨在基于共同的种族传统和民主社会政治制度, 团结世界上讲英语的白人。我们研究了这场运动的两位核心历史学家E.A.

AbstractThe basic argument of this article is that the Caribbean author, Derek Walcott, illuminates how the concept of “the city” can be used to enable a geopolitical system of centralized power seated in culturally, politically, and economically significant nodes (i.e., “cities”). In short, following Walcott, the concept of “the city” at times serves as a cultural technology to justify colonization, the monopolization of political power, and the domination of so-called peripheral sites. “The city” is not always a neutral descriptor of a given geographical locus, but instead can be a cultural technology of power insofar as it is at times a concept employed in order to garner control over an extended territory from a socio-political center. To demonstrate this thesis, I engage in a close reading of Derek Walcott’s theoretical essays and epic poem, Omeros (1990).本文的基本论点是, 加勒比籍作者Derek Walcott阐述了在文化、政治和经济的重要节点——“城市”, 如何利用“城市”这个概念来建立中央集权地缘政治体系。Walcott认为, “城市”概念有时候是合法进行殖民、政治权力垄断和外围掌控的文化技术。“城市”并非总是对地理位置的客观描述。”城市”是权力的文化技术, 用于从社会政治中心控制更广泛的领地。为了证明这一论点, 我仔细解读了Derek Walcott的理论散文和史诗——《奥梅罗斯》(1990)。El argumento básico de este artículo es que el autor caribeño Derek Walcott aclara cómo el concepto de “la ciudad” puede usarse para hacer posible un sistema geopolítico de poder centralizado asentado en nodos cultural, política y económicamente significativos (esto es, “ciudades”).

摘要本文的基本论点是，加勒比地区的作者德里克·沃尔科特(Derek Walcott)阐明了“城市”的概念如何被用来使一个集中权力的地缘政治体系位于文化、政治和经济的重要节点(即“城市”)。简而言之，按照沃尔科特的观点，“城市”的概念有时作为一种文化技术，为殖民、政治权力的垄断和所谓的边缘地区的统治辩护。“城市”并不总是一个对特定地理位置的中立描述，相反，它可以是一种权力的文化技术，因为它有时是一个概念，用于从社会政治中心获得对扩展领土的控制。为了证明这一论点，我仔细阅读了德里克·沃尔科特的理论散文和史诗《阿梅罗斯》(1990)。本文的基本论点是,加勒比籍作者德里克•沃尔科特阐述了在文化,政治和经济的重要节点——“城市”,如何利用“城市”这个概念来建立中央集权地缘政治体系。沃尔科特认为,“城市”概念有时候是合法进行殖民、政治权力垄断和外围掌控的文化技术。“城市”并非总是对地理位置的客观描述。”城市”是权力的文化技术, 用于从社会政治中心控制更广泛的领地。为了证明这一论点,我仔细解读了德里克•沃尔科特的理论散文和史诗——“奥梅罗斯”(1990)。El argumento básico de este artículo es que El author caribeño Derek Walcott aclara cómo El concepto de " la ciudad " puede usassar para haacer possible un sistema geopolítico de poder centralizado asentado en nodos cultural, política y económicamente significativos (esto es， " ciudades ")。En síntesis, de acuerdo con Walcott, a veces el concepto de " la ciudad " (" la ciudad ")的概念(" la ciudad ")为como tecnología文化辩护colonización, la monopolización del poder político和el domino de los así llamados sitios perifacritos。" La ciudad " no siemprees el descriptor neutral de undeterminado lugar geográfico sino más que eso una tecnología cultural de poder, en La mediada en que a veces es un concepto que se usa para obtener el control de un centro socio-político。《示范示范论文》，《示范示范论文》，《示范示范论文》，《示范示范论文》，《示范示范论文》teóricos德里克·沃尔科特和《示范示范论文》(1990年)。关键词:加勒比殖民主义文学城市研究加勒比殖民主义文学城市研究致谢感谢匿名审稿人在本文编写过程中提供的宝贵反馈。注1本文的研究经费来自智利国家研究与发展署(Agencia Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo de Chile) (ANID)， FONDECYT启动项目第11220089号，“神话般的城市化:神话与城市的非殖民化”。2最近关于全球城市化的讨论使“区分城市、郊区和农村区域的界限”变得复杂(Brenner and Schmid Citation2011, 12)。相反，“城市代表了一种日益全球化的状况”，在这种情况下，“即使是远远超出传统城市核心和郊区外围的空间……也已成为全球城市结构的组成部分”(Brenner和Schmid Citation2011, 12)。因此，人们可以在功能上区分这种城市化的总体状况和谨慎的“传统城市核心”。在本文中，“城市”指的是后者。出于这个原因，我将使用“city”作为形容词和名词。这是本文的操作词汇表，并不意味着反映更广泛的术语用法。有些人可能会认为，“面对庞大的城市定居点和‘行星’城市化进程”，这一研究对象已经过时了(Robinson Citation2022, 1)。尽管在本文的范围之外，详细回答了为什么“城市”的“剩余概念”(Robinson Citation2022, 1)仍然被使用，但这篇文章确实暗示了一个假设:它作为一种文化技术(而不是一种构词)的功能，在塑造和维持一种以政治经济权力的集中和垄断为基础的文化政治方面仍然有用;“城市”与其说是一个残留的概念，不如说是一个仍然具有功能的行为陈述这要归功于斯皮瓦克(Citation2012)将代理定义为制度上有效的行为这一观点很大程度上归功于阿比亚·亚兰关于我们的“表达轨迹”如何改变我们的思维模式的非殖民化理论(Keme Citation2018;Mignolo Citation2000;罗森博格Citation2006)。虽然对非殖民化理论持批评态度，但卡洛斯·科尔曼纳雷斯·吉尔(Citation2023)对barrio思维的理论化在这里特别值得注意因此，我在本文中没有进行这样的理论化，而是将自己限制在对“城市”概念的批判上。他们在其他地方详细阐述了他们的论点(Brenner and Schmid Citation2015)例如，德里达解构了写作/演讲(Derrida Citation1997)、治疗/毒药(Derrida Citation1981)和动物/人类(Derrida Citation2002)之间的划分此外，大写字母“C”的文化指的是全球认可的文化认为感恩是殖民主义摩尼教的再现的批评很常见(Mbembe Citation2017)。

What does it mean that plants—soy, coffee, wheat, cotton, lettuce and more—are growing in Near-Earth orbit? What histories account for their presence beyond the terrestrial, and what futures might they be incubating? In this paper, to address these questions, I describe four very different planetary vegetal thresholds, which I understand as geohistoric events thick with potentials for realigning worlds. First, technoscientific cultures of space science. Second, the allying of crops and elites in late neolithic plantation agriculture. Third, the cosmic and global travels of the kumara, figuring Māori plant alliances that take us beyond colonial ideologies of space exploration. Fourth, a science fiction art installation growing plants in a prototyped Martian House. Drawing on vegetal geographies, critical plants studies and Anthropocene geophilosophy, the paper is a work in speculative planetology which argues that plants are seeking to stretch out beyond Earth and enable other planets to become otherwise: photosynthesis is a vegetal gift to the cold cosmos.
