世界上第一个深海采矿（DSM）项目见证了从巴布亚新几内亚（PNG）近海沃茨1600米深的矿床中提取铜和金的商业开发计划。被批评者视为“实验性的”和“不确定的”，它既有争议又有阻力。本文批判性地分析了该行业的辩护者为了应对环境问题和制造同意而使用的各种各样的策略。它利用了在巴布亚新几内亚的“Solwara 1”DSM项目中进行的大量原始数据，以突出其承包商Nautilus Minerals使DSM合法化的三种不同方式。所有这些都利用了深海的时空物质。在第一种情况下，公司将其责任从“社会”领域转移出去，而是将其置于一个被构造为暴力和不守规矩的“自然”之上。其次，它强调了其采矿业务相对较短的寿命和面积足迹。最后，Nautilus强调了深海的“无位置性”和偏远性，声称其作业“没有人类影响”，尽管附近有小岛屿社区。这些战略是企业理解的一部分，这种理解是意识到而不是无知的，当代地缘政治形态包括地质和非人类行为体，并在空间和时间中动态运作。两者合计，该文件显示了资源时空性的方式来的问题的类型的企业社会责任的做法和叙述中出现的深海空间和时间的背景。
The world's first deep-sea mining (DSM) project has witnessed the commercial development of plans to extract copper and gold from deposits 1600m deep in the waters of offshore Papua New Guinea (PNG). Viewed as ‘experimental’ and ‘uncertain’ by its critics, it has afforded both controversy and resistance. This paper critically analyses the multifarious strategies that the industry's apologists use in order to respond to environmental concerns and to manufacture consent. It draws upon extensive primary data conducted at the ‘Solwara 1’ DSM project in Papua New Guinea in order to highlight three different ways in which DSM is legitimised by its contractor, Nautilus Minerals. All of these draw upon the spatio-temporal materialities of the deep-sea. In the first instance, the corporation shifts its responsibility away from the ‘social’ realm, instead placing it on a ‘nature’ that is constructed as violent and unruly. Secondly, it emphasises both the relatively short life-span and areal footprint of its mining operations. Finally, Nautilus emphasises the ‘placelessness’ and remoteness of the deep-ocean by claiming that its operations ‘have no human impact’ despite the presence of proximate small island communities. These strategies are part of a corporate understanding that is aware, rather than ignorant, of contemporary geopolitical formations that include geologic and non-human actors and operate dynamically in space and time. Taken together, the paper shows the ways in which resource spatio-temporalities come to matter for the types of CSR practices and narratives that emerge in the context of deep-ocean space and time.
