本文用“魅力生命”一词来描述强调生命力和活力的自然表现形式。从自然成为奇观时生命是如何具体化的开始,文章讨论了生命的拜物教是如何成为生物多样性科学早期结构逻辑的一部分,以某种方式破坏了对损失的其他伦理和政治反应。当生物多样性在20世纪80年代成为一个流行的科学概念时,它被描述为一种科学的替代品,取代了对有魅力的巨型动物的情感依恋,这种情感依恋曾经构成了保护的优先事项。但这篇文章认为,在对保护生物学家E.O.威尔逊的科普回忆录《热爱生命》的历史解读中[威尔逊,E.O.(1984)]。专辑里。剑桥:哈佛大学出版社]以及具有开创性的编辑集《生物多样性》[威尔逊,e.o.(主编)。(1988)。生物多样性。威尔逊多愁善感的生命政治把世界描绘成一堆活着的纪念品——用来纪念即将消失的生命形式的纪念品。
ABSTRACT The essay uses the term “charismatic life” to describe representations of nature that emphasize vitality and vibrancy. Beginning with how life is reified when nature becomes spectacle, the essay discusses how a fetishism of life was part of the early structuring logic of biodiversity science in a way that undermined crafting other ethical and political responses to loss. When biodiversity emerged as a popular science concept in the 1980s, it was described as a scientific replacement for the sentimental attachment to charismatic megafauna that previously structured conservation priorities. But this essay argues, in a historicized reading of conservation biologist E.O. Wilson’s popular science memoir Biophilia [Wilson, E. O. (1984). Biophilia. Cambridge: Harvard University Press] alongside the seminal edited collection Biodiversity [Wilson, E. O. (Ed.). (1988). Biodiversity. Washington, DC: National Academy of Sciences], that Wilson’s sentimental biopolitics renders the world as if a collection of living souvenirs – tokens by which to remember forms of life that will have been lost.
