In this commentary, I follow up on Chandler and Pugh’s (2021) article, ‘Anthropocene Islands: There Are Only Islands After the End of the World’, to explore two central facets of their argument. First, I explore just why analyses of dynamic patterns of relational entanglements in island environments are particularly detrimental to modernist fantasies of a dichotomous world. Second, I critique whether the frame of ‘the Anthropocene’ is the most accurate way to depict the emerging knowledges of relationality in island (and other) geographies.

岛屿，现代性和永无止境的其他世界

在这篇评论中，我将继续介绍钱德勒和普格（Chandler and Pugh）（2021年）的文章，《人类世界群岛：世界尽头之后只有群岛》，探讨他们论证的两个主要方面。首先，我探讨了为什么在岛屿环境中对关系纠缠的动态模式进行分析特别不利于二分法世界的现代主义幻想。其次，我批评“人类世”的框架是否是描述岛屿（和其他）地理区域中新兴的关系知识的最准确方法。
