摘要

北太平洋东部灰鲸以其非凡的生态历史而闻名:从濒临灭绝到复苏,从“魔鬼鱼”到“友好鲸鱼”。这篇文章批判性地审视了灰鲸历史的起源和发展,在这段历史中,灰鲸一直被称为“魔鬼鱼”,直到20世纪70年代它们变成了“友好的鲸鱼”。从19世纪中期到20世纪中期的档案资料,这篇文章打破了从魔鬼鱼到友好鲸鱼的平滑和线性过渡的前提。相反,灰鲸的历史揭示了加利福尼亚海岸人类与鲸鱼之间更为复杂甚至矛盾的遭遇。在研究的这段时间里,熟悉的当代灰鲸历史叙事的先驱出现了,每一个都建立在对灰鲸过去的记忆之上。更广泛地说,这篇文章对非人类代理、多物种相遇、记忆和情感环境历史等非人类历史研究的当代对话有所贡献。

From Devil-Fish to Friendly Whale? Encountering Gray Whales on The California Coast
Eastern North Pacific gray whales are famed for their remarkable ecological history: from near extinction to recovery and from ‘devil-fish’ to ‘friendly whale’. This article critically examines the origins and development of the narrative framing of gray whales’ history as one in which the whales were long known as ‘devil-fish’, until they became ‘friendly whales’ in the 1970s. Drawing on archival sources from the mid-nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries, this article interrupts the premise of a smooth and linear transition from devil-fish to friendly whale. Instead, gray whale histories reveal much more complex and even contradictory human–whale encounters along the California coast. Throughout the time period examined, precursors of the familiar contemporary narrative of gray whale history emerged, each building on prior remembrances of gray whale pasts. More broadly, this article contributes to contemporary conversations in more-than-human historical studies about nonhuman agency, multispecies encounters, memory, and environmental histories of emotion.
