ABSTRACT

Modernist capitalist iterations of time of linear and messianic teleologies/eschatologies are co-produced with the nation-state and the global ecological capitalist order. This article contests racial ecological capitalism by focusing on its language of time for two dominant structures: first, the linear, that is, the flow of a determined sequence of separable measurable units in one direction and capitalist ecology and second, retrojection, that is, the conjuring up of the moment of enclosure and capture as the ‘origin’ of racial ecological capitalism which supposedly testifies to its necessity. I draw on the 2018 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and work by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway to register the co-production of the temporal with the ecological. In conversation with Octavia Butler, I argue that grappling with these two time approaches and ecology allows for a structural engagement with the emergence of and generation of the possible conditions for a decolonial planetary relations as acts of invention.

摘要

线性和弥赛亚目的论/末世论的现代资本主义时间迭代与民族国家和全球生态资本主义秩序共同产生。本文通过关注其两种主要结构的时间语言来对抗种族生态资本主义：第一，线性，即一个方向和资本主义生态的可分离可测量单位的确定序列的流动；第二，倒推，即，将圈地和俘获的时刻想象为种族生态资本主义的“起源”，据说这证明了它的必要性。我借鉴了政府间气候变化专门委员会 (IPCC) 的 2018 年报告，以及 Naomi Oreskes 和 Erik Conway 的工作，以注册时间与生态的联合生产。在与奥克塔维亚·巴特勒的对话中，
