ABSTRACT The Anthropocene – as a geological and cultural epoch – brings with it new modes of articulating environmental crisis and citizenship for peoples in India. This essay illustrates how space, scale and identity can be located within contemporary climate political imaginations through the normative canvas of the Indian Constitution. It argues that by thinking about climate change as a collection of dualisms – past/present, near/faraway, futures/futurelessness – Indian vocabularies of constitutionalism can inform authoritative understandings of crisis and citizenship. The article makes use of empirical material collected between 2016–17 for the author's doctoral research. It argues that Indian climate change elites characterize crisis in distinctive ways that draw attention to the symbolic and material implications of interrogating the shifting geographies of belonging in India. It shows how they make use of a framework of constitutionalism that is simultaneously attentive to the semantics of both planetary and subaltern thinking in the Anthropocene.

危机、宪政和归属地理学：人类世中的印度生态政治

摘要人类世——作为一个地质和文化时代——为印度人民带来了阐明环境危机和公民身份的新模式。本文说明了如何通过印度宪法的规范画布将空间、规模和身份定位在当代气候政治想象中。它认为，通过将气候变化视为二元论的集合——过去/现在、近/远、未来/未来——印度宪政词汇可以为对危机和公民身份的权威理解提供信息。本文利用了作者在 2016-17 年间收集的经验材料进行博士研究。它认为，印度气候变化精英以独特的方式描述危机，从而引起人们对询问印度归属地变化的象征性和物质性影响的关注。它展示了他们如何利用宪政框架，同时关注人类世中行星和底层思维的语义。
