他的研究考察了如何将自然、生态或环境的论述,作为“生态知识”的学科表述,重新解释为努力在自然之上、也在自然内部和通过自然产生“地权”系统,以治理现代经济和社会。米歇尔·福柯的思想,特别是他将性行为和生物力量作为话语形成的学科的中介的概念,为这种重新解释提供了基础,因为许多与“环境”相关的术语令人困惑,直到人们把它们放在谱系的镜头下。这些动态已经发挥了近130年的作用--至少从19世纪乔治·马什(George Marsh)(1885年)或恩斯特·海克尔(Ernst Haeckel)(1866年)提出自觉的生态话语以来--但它们的运作在今天尤为明显。虽然这种倾向的许多例子可能在这里被调动起来,但这种对地缘电力系统的审查作为一种调解
T his study examines how discourses of nature, ecology, or the environment, as disciplinary articulations of"eco-knowledge," might be reinterpreted as efforts to generate systems of "geopower" over, but also within and through, Nature for the governance of modern economies and societies. The thinking of Michel Foucault, particularly his notions of sexuality and bio-power as mediations for discursively formed discipline, provides a basis for this reinterpretation, because many of the terms associated with "the environment" are perplexing until one puts them under a genealogical lens. These dynamics have been at play for nearly a hundred and thirty years-or at least since self-consciously ecological discourses were formulated by George Marsh (1885) or Ernst Haeckel (1866) in the nineteenth century-but their operations are particularly apparent today. While many examples of such tendencies might be mobilized here, this examination of geo-power systems as a mediation of
