摘要本文主要关注荷兰胡克货车荷兰镇的一小群家鸦，它们可能是20世纪90年代中期乘船抵达的两只鸟的后代。2014年，经过20年的和平共处，政府开始消灭这一人口。荷兰货车的对岸是鹿特丹港--欧洲最大的港口--也是全球生产、贸易和消费模式的“引擎”，这些模式正在重塑我们的世界，迎来了许多人所说的“人类世”。以这些乌鸦和这个港口为重点--以一种与构成我们现在的更广泛的时空相协调的方式--本文探讨了好客作为在困难时期打造共享世界的基础的可能性和局限性。
AbstractThis article focuses on a small population of house crows in the town of Hoek van Holland in the Netherlands, likely descendants of two birds that arrived by ship in the mid-1990s. In 2014, after twenty years of peaceful co-existence, the government began the process of eradicating this population. Just across the water from Hoek van Holland is the Port of Rotterdam – Europe’s largest port – and an “engine” for the global patterns of production, trade and consumption that are today remaking our world, ushering in what many are calling “the Anthropocene.” Focusing on these crows and this port – in a way that is attuned to the broader placetimes that constitute our present – this paper explores the possibilities and limitations of hospitality as a basis for crafting shared worlds in difficult times.
