Abstract

This essay is a fictocritical meditation upon the contemporary transformation of temporal experience as we find ourselves embarked upon an accelerating process of climate change and species extinction, including possibly that of the human species. The essay offers an extended reading of a recent villanelle published in John Kinsella’s Book of Villanelles (Arc, 2020) that in turn responds to a controversial project by the Adani mining consortium to begin extracting coal over a large swathe of Wangan and Jagalingou country in the Central Queensland Galilee Basin. The essay is an extract from a collaborative work in progress by John Kinsella and myself, Per Se: On the Imperatives of Place II, that will appear in early 2021 with Narr, building upon ˈtεmp(ə)rərɪnəs: On the Imperatives of Place (Narr, 2018).

摘要

这篇文章是对当代时间经验的当代转变的一个批判性的沉思，因为我们发现自己已经着手加速了气候变化和物种灭绝的进程，包括人类物种的灭绝进程。这篇文章提供了约翰·金塞拉（John Kinsella）的《菲拉内勒斯之书》（Arc，2020）中最近发生的恶棍的扩展阅读，反过来，这是对阿达尼矿业财团的一项有争议的项目的回应，该项目开始在该地区旺加和贾加林古的大片地区开采煤炭。昆士兰州中部加利利盆地。本文摘自约翰·金塞拉和我本人正在进行的合作作品《Per Se：论地方的命令》，该作品将于2021年初与纳尔（Narr）合作，ˈtεmp（ə）rərɪnəs：关于地方的命令（Narr，2018）。
