斯泰西·阿莱莫的《暴露：后人类时代的环境政治和快乐》一书开头说：“新世纪不是把事情弄清楚的时候。”正如这句俏皮的开场白所暗示的，《暴露》抵制了环保主义的虔诚，而是沉浸在环境行动主义、行为艺术、物质女权主义、酷儿研究、后人类主义和新唯物主义重叠的复杂且往往具有挑衅性的领域。“沉浸”在这里不是一个闲置的词的选择;这本书的高潮部分不仅将人类纪的问题扩展到了海洋领域，（Alaimo自己将《暴露》的其余部分描述为“当我试图到达大海时发生在我身上的事情”[13-14]），但作品作为一个整体发展了一种看似水性的方法论，抵制“漂浮的视角”（129）和“干燥，分离的断言”（10）赞成“沉浸式实践和方法论”（10）。其结果是一个雄心勃勃的，不敬的，原始的，广泛的，有时令人迷失方向的呼吁曝光的政治，注意到人类身体与物质世界的纠缠，并居住在一个代理模式，“出现在感知的边界和主权的丧失”（5）。在其六个章节的过程中，暴露的批评各种做法和姿势的不渗透性-从超男性化的表现“煤辊”，以宣布安全的家庭围栏，

As this playful opening sentence suggests, Exposed resists environmentalism’s earnest pieties, immersing itself instead in the complex and often provocative regions where environmental activism, performance art, material feminism, queer studies, posthumanism, and New Materialism overlap. “Immerse” here is no idle word choice; not only does the book’s culminating section extend Anthropocenic questions to oceanic realms (Alaimo herself describes the rest of Exposed as “what happened to me while I was trying to get to the sea” [13–14]), but the work as a whole develops a seemingly aqueous methodology that resists “floating perspectives” (129) and “dry, detached assertions” (10) in favor of “immersive practices and methodologies” (10). The result is an ambitious, irreverent, original, wide-ranging, and sometimes disorienting call for a politics of exposure that heeds the entanglement of human bodies with the material world and inhabits a mode of agency that “emerges from the perceived loss of boundaries and sovereignty” (5). Over the course of its six chapters, Exposed critiques various practices and postures of impermeability—ranging from the hypermasculine performance of “coal rollers” to the proclaimed safety of domestic enclosure to
