Abstract

The international airport is the quintessence of globalized free-market capitalism: there, the conquering of distances, fluid circulation of people and goods, advertising and consumption of products, all come together in a continuous globalized spatial network covering the earth. It is the epitome of the built, contained, climatized, homogenized, and controlled environment: at antipodes, then, with ‘nature,’ in the form of organically established ecologies. When farmers and activists stopped the building of a new international airport at Notre-Dame-des-Landes in France last year, the slogan of their movement was “Against the airport and its world.” In this paper, I will examine and compare recent representations of the ‘counter-world’ the ZAD proposes in place of the airport (world-)system—as we find them in essays published in the anthology Éloge des mauvaises herbes: ce que nous devons à la ZAD (2018, including essays by David Graeber, Bruno Latour, and Virginie Despentes) and graphic novels (Pignocchi, 2019; and Azuélos and Rochepeau, 2019)—in order to evaluate to what extent the experimental ecology of the ZAD can give rise to discourses and aesthetics articulating anything ‘other’ than the ubiquitously reproduced logics of the ‘airport,’ which is to say of globalized capitalism itself.

摘要

国际机场是全球化自由市场资本主义的精髓：在那里，距离的征服，人与货物的流畅流通，广告和产品的消费，都在一个覆盖地球的连续的全球化空间网络中融合在一起。它是已建立，封闭，气候化，均质化和可控制的环境的缩影：在对映体处，然后以“自然”形式以有机建立的生态形式出现。去年，当农民和激进主义者停止在法国巴黎圣母院建造新的国际机场时，他们运动的口号是“反对机场及其世界”。在本文中，我将检查和比较ZAD提出的“反世界”的最新表示形式，以代替机场（世界）系统，正如我们在选集上发表的论文中所发现的那样毛里求斯的草药：ZAD ce que nous devonsàla ZAD（2018年，包括David Graeber，Bruno Latour和Virginie Despentes的论文）和图画小说（Pignocchi，2019年;Azuélos和Rochepeau，2019年）-以评估什么ZAD的实验生态学可以在某种程度上引起话语和美学的影响，从而阐明除“机场”（即全球化的资本主义本身）无处不在的再现逻辑之外的任何“其他”事物。
