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)
《美國氣候緊急敘事》揭示了許多被稱為「氣候小說」的作品，將生態崩潰視為美國資本主義現代性的一種緊急情況，而非對整個星球的緊急情況。這本書追溯了這一敘事的起源，回到美國殖民資本主義的到來，當時對地球及其人民的理解被確立為可提取的資源。自那時起，這一敘事忽略了氣候危機的暴力歷史，同時利用軍事作為抵禦資本主義所造成的危機、被驅逐的人民，甚至是病弱的地球本身的防線。
這是一本開放存取的書籍。
