商品描述
The American Climate Emergency Narrative reveals reveals how much of what has been called "climate fiction" casts ecological breakdown as an emergency for American capitalist modernity rather than for the planet. The book traces the origins of this narrative back to the arrival of settler capitalism in America, when the understanding of the planet and its people as extractable resources was established. Since then, this narrative has elided the violent history of the climate crisis while at the same time leveraging the military as a bulwark against the crises capitalism has caused, the people it has uprooted, even the ailing planet itself.
This is an open access book.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《美國氣候緊急情境敘事》揭示了被稱為「氣候小說」的作品將生態崩潰視為美國資本主義現代性的緊急情境，而非全球的緊急情境。本書追溯了這種敘事的起源，追溯到殖民資本主義抵達美國時，人們將地球和其居民視為可提取的資源的理解被確立。從那時起，這種敘事在忽略氣候危機的暴力歷史的同時，利用軍事作為對抗資本主義引起的危機、對人民的驅逐，甚至對患病地球本身的壁壘。本書是一本開放存取的書籍。
