ABSTRACT Extinctionism and efilism were once considered lunatic fringe movements but are increasingly popular. They focus on immanence, care and prevention of life but are maligned as being death cults. Covertly the protection of the yet-to-be lives over those of citizens, the rise in suicide, murderous political acts from welfare cuts to genocide and individually driven massacres are understood as aberrations. The status of death itself is now in question over its Semiocapitalisation – a signifier or spectacle. This article expresses the crucial nature of materiality in thinking death and the various trajectories of the antagonistic relationship the human has with death which could (and should in certain circumstances) be loving, vitalist and as prevention and cessation of life could offer a future open to nature and the potentialisation of a natural epoch.

拥抱死亡，打开世界

摘要 灭绝主义和 efilism 曾经被认为是疯狂的边缘运动，但越来越受欢迎。他们专注于生命的内在性、关怀和预防，但被诽谤为死亡邪教。暗地里，对公民生命的保护、自杀的增加、从福利削减到种族灭绝和个人驱动的大屠杀的凶残政治行为都被理解为失常。死亡本身的地位现在因其符号资本化——一种能指或奇观而受到质疑。这篇文章表达了物质性在思考死亡中的关键性质，以及人类与死亡之间可能（并且在某些情况下应该）有爱的对抗关系的各种轨迹，
