This article examines how the discourse of the new generation of environmental youth movements highlights time and temporality in order to explain the possibilities of change that the movements offer. This is done by analyzing three influential and transnational youth climate movements—Earth Uprising, Extinction Rebellion, and Fridays For Future—in relation to three influential diagnoses of the current political condition: postpolitics, populism, and postapocalypse. The article argues that the movements should be understood as mobilizing through negative utopian energies. Using theoretical inspiration from Ernst Bloch, the article states that the discourse should be read as containing acts of hope and utopian impulses that reach forward toward a new beginning of a future possible. The article shows how the movements challenge the diagnoses of populism and postpolitics by their constant critique of capitalism, by reinstalling the people as heterogenous political subjects, and by representing a new temporality. Moreover, the article shows how the mainstream climate discourse contains two temporal narratives that run parallel to each other: one that can be thought of as a vernacular eschatology and one that is seemingly postapocalyptic. However, the article argues that both narratives provide visions of a better future to come, and by using the notion of anticipation, the article states that even the postapocalyptic narrative can be mobilizing. Thus, the environmental youth movements offer a new kind of discourse, one that is non-postpolitical, nonpopulist, and non-postapocalyptic.

本文探讨了新一代环境青年运动的话语如何突出时间和时间性，以解释运动带来的变化的可能性。这是通过分析与当前政治状况的三种有影响的诊断相关的三种有影响力的和跨国的青年气候运动-地球起义，灭绝叛乱和未来的星期五-来完成的：后政治，民粹主义和后启示。该文章认为，应该将运动理解为通过负的乌托邦能量来动员。文章引用了恩斯特·布洛赫（Ernst Bloch）的理论启发，认为该话语应被理解为包含希望的行为和乌托邦的冲动，朝着未来的新起点前进。这篇文章展示了这些运动如何通过不断批评资本主义，将人民重新设置为异类政治主体并代表新的时空性来挑战民粹主义和后政治学的诊断。此外，本文还说明了主流气候话语中如何包含两种相互平行的时间叙事：一种可以被视为白话末世论，而另一种则可以看作是末世论。但是，文章认为这两种叙述都提供了对未来的美好展望，并且通过使用预期的概念，文章指出，即使是末世的叙述也可以动员起来。因此，环境青年运动提供了一种新型的话语，一种非后政治，非民粹主义和非后世界主义的话语。
