人类世破碎的时空将遥远的过去和未来带入当下。思考深层时间是具有挑战性的：深层时间很奇怪，它扭曲了我们的归属感以及我们与地球力量和生物的关系。本专题的介绍以环境人文学科的学术为基础，涉及可追溯到遥远过去的生物和地质过程的持续继承以及未来的多种前景。我们不是将深度时间理解为一个抽象概念，而是探索深度时间如何通过地点、物体和实践来体现。我们重点关注遭遇深度时间的三种模式——迷惑、暴力和困扰——我们将深度时间作为一种融入日常生活的亲密元素引入。我们建议，深度时间故事以富有成效的方式参与，深度时间重新处理叙事、自我和表征问题。在讨论这些动态时，这篇引言和随附的文章将当前的关注点置于行星时间性的更大流动中，揭示了深层时间是富有成效的、朴素的、奇妙的，同时也是令人不安的、不可思议的。
The fractured timespace of the Anthropocene brings distant pasts and futures into the present. Thinking about deep time is challenging: deep time is strange and warps our sense of belonging and our relationships to Earth forces and creatures. The introduction to this special section builds on scholarship in the environmental humanities concerning the ongoing inheritance of biological and geologic processes that stretch back into the deep past as well as the opening up of multiple vistas of the futures. Rather than understanding deep time as an abstract concept, we explore how deep time manifests through places, objects, and practices. Focusing on three modes through which deep time is encountered— enchantment, violence, and haunting—we introduce deep time as an intimate element woven into everyday lives. Deep time stories, we suggest, engage with the productive ways in which deep time reworks questions of narrative, self, and representation. In addressing these dynamics, this introduction and the accompanying articles place current concerns into the larger flows of planetary temporalities, revealing deep time as productive, homely, and wondrous as well as unsettling, uncanny.
