Emerging discussions frame sites of extraction as ‘zones of entanglement’, and this article considers the condition of mine closure and the decision-making processes around post-mining landscape planning as one of these zones. Focusing on the recently closed Leigh Creek coal mine in South Australia, this article compares the transformation of a specific area of the mining lease by nonhumans with the community consultation processes that occurred during the mine's closure. Drawing from Karen Barad's theory of Agential Realism with the concepts of ‘interaction’ and ‘intra-action’, this comparison considers the way in which discursive frameworks create enclosures that prevent individual community members from enacting their ambitions for the post-mining landscape. Framing nonhumans as agentic actors this paper presents their landscape transformation as an example of what can happen if actors act both below the threshold of company awareness and from within their own worldview. It similarly explores what happens if actors reject or are unable to engage in the dominant discourses that restrict final landscape possibilities. This paper proposes that actors using distributed agency to enact socio-material landscape change presents a methodological alternative to individualistic forms of landscape planning embedded within risk management and economic viability frameworks.

新兴的讨论将采掘点定为“纠缠区”，本文将矿山关闭的条件和围绕采矿后景观规划的决策过程视为这些区之一。本文着眼于最近关闭的南澳大利亚州Leigh Creek煤矿，将非人类采矿租约的特定区域的转换与该矿关闭期间发生的社区咨询过程进行了比较。从卡伦·巴拉德（Karen Barad）的“代理现实主义”理论和“互动”和“内部行动”的概念出发，该比较考虑了话语框架创建封闭环境的方式，这些封闭环境阻止单个社区成员为采矿后的环境制定野心。以非人类为代理角色，本文以其角色转变为例，说明了如果角色的行为既低于公司意识的门槛，又来自他们自己的世界观，那么会发生什么。它同样探讨了如果演员拒绝或无法参与限制最终景观可能性的主导性话语会发生什么。本文提出，使用分布式代理来实施社会物质景观变化的参与者提供了一种方法替代方法，可以替代嵌入风险管理和经济可行性框架内的景观规划的个人主义形式。它同样探讨了如果演员拒绝或无法参与限制最终景观可能性的主导性话语会发生什么。本文提出，使用分布式代理来实施社会物质景观变化的参与者提供了一种方法替代方法，可以替代嵌入风险管理和经济可行性框架内的景观规划的个人主义形式。它同样探讨了如果演员拒绝或无法参与限制最终景观可能性的主导性话语会发生什么。本文提出，使用分布式代理来实施社会物质景观变化的参与者提供了一种方法替代方法，可以替代嵌入风险管理和经济可行性框架内的景观规划的个人主义形式。
