ABSTRACT This article looks at the environmental discourses articulated by university students attending Universitas Sriwijaya (UNSRI) in Palembang, South Sumatra, during the 2014 annual burning season when land is illegally cleared to extend palm oil plantations. The smoke was so thick it was hard to breathe. Yet the young activists often made no initial reference to the smoke. When asked directly, they used normalising discourses to talk about the smoke. Below, the three main discourses about smoke that emerged from the interviews are discussed in detail. It is argued that these three identified discourses point to a specific regime of truth (Foucault) about the annual smoke that may point to local thinking about this important environmental problem.

烟雾进入你的眼睛

摘要 本文着眼于在 2014 年一年一度的燃烧季节期间，就读于南苏门答腊巨港的斯里维加亚大学 (UNSRI) 的大学生所发表的环境论述，当时土地被非法清除以扩大棕榈油种植园。烟太浓了，呼吸困难。然而，年轻的激进分子往往没有最初提到烟雾。当直接被问到时，他们使用规范化的话语来谈论烟雾。下面，详细讨论了采访中出现的关于烟雾的三个主要论述。有人认为，这三个确定的话语指向了一个关于每年烟雾的特定真相（福柯），这可能指向当地对这一重要环境问题的思考。
