ABSTRACT

This article examines how ‘the Anthropocene’ is conceptualized within discourses on security, politics, and ethics, and is narrated as a global-collective experience for all of humanity with an identifiable beginning, common horizon, and shared fate. However, this space–time framing assumes knowledge and experience not actually shared. Even critical engagements with the Anthropocene frequently invoke cosmopolitan space–time referents when seeking to intervene or call for action. Instead, we turn to the metaphor of the palimpsest and its discussion by Jacques Derrida alongside the ‘worldism’ and ‘multiple worlds’ of Anna Agathangelou and L.H.M. Ling to propose the heterogeneity of space–time. Doing so de-centres monolithic portrayals of climate change as ‘the Anthropocene’ and enables ‘Multiple Anthropocenes’, or the multiplicity of experiences of extinction and visions of political and ethical response. We conclude by discussing some insights from indigenous and queer space–time perspectives that narrate various climate change experiences that are evaded and written-over.

多元人类世:多元时空作为对“人类世”的回应

摘要

本文探讨了“人类世”如何在有关安全、政治和伦理的话语中被概念化,并被描述为全人类的全球集体体验,具有可识别的开端、共同的视野和共同的命运。然而,这种时空框架假设知识和经验实际上并未共享。在寻求干预或呼吁采取行动时,即使是与人类世的批判性接触也经常引用世界性的时空指涉。相反,我们转向雅克·德里达(Jacques Derrida)的翻版比喻及其讨论,以及安娜·阿加桑格鲁(Anna Agathangelou)和 LHM Ling 的“世界主义”和“多重世界”,以提出时空的异质性。这样做可以消除对气候变化的单一描绘,即“人类世”,并使“多重人类世”成为可能,或者灭绝经历的多样性以及政治和伦理反应的愿景。我们最后讨论了一些来自土著和酷儿时空视角的见解,这些视角讲述了各种被回避和重写的气候变化经历。
