本文以地下地缘政治美学为基础进行实验。它利用了一次特殊的“火山事件”——1831 年地中海费迪南迪亚岛的短暂出现——以及围绕这一地球物理事件的一系列视觉和文字铭文——从艺术家伊拉娜·哈尔珀林 (Ilana Halperin) 的艺术作品“新兴陆地（消失的编年史）[2006]”到军事派遣。本文将这些不同的来源汇集在一起，首先考虑地下如何可能“地下”地缘政治思想和实践，其次考虑我们如何认识或感知地下体积，这是控制地下体积的一个重要方面。本文围绕地缘政治地下美学不断发展命题，探讨了对地下光学、动态地球系统的感知以及与地质相关的规模问题的关注。在这个具体案例研究的背景下，本文反思了地下美学如何在地形与领土、垂直与体积、以及地缘政治、地球物理和地缘权力之间的关系上拥有更广泛的影响。
This article experiments with the basis for a geopolitical aesthetics of the subterranean. It does so using a particular ‘Volcanic Incident’ – the brief emergence of Ferdinandea island in the Mediterranean in 1831 – and a range of visual and textual inscriptions around this geophysical event – from the art workEmergent Landmass (A Chronicle of Disappearance)[2006] by artist Ilana Halperin to military dispatches. Bringing together these various sources the article considers firstly how the subterranean might ‘unground’ geopolitical ideas and practices, and secondly how we come to know, or to sense subterranean volumes, an important aspect of controlling them. Evolving propositions around a geopolitical subterranean aesthetics, the article explores concerns with asubterranean optics, with the sensing of dynamic earth systems, and with issues around scale with respect to concerns withthe geologic. From within the context of this specific case study, the article reflects on how it is that subterranean aesthetics might have wider purchase on the relations between terrains and territory, the vertical and the volumetric, and the geopolitical, geophysical and geopower.
