在这篇文章中,我认为对启示录的幻想既是我们当前时代--人类世--的产物和生产者,它们也通过面对可能发生的事情,带领我们走出这个时代。我认为《人类世启示录》揭示了我们是如何同时在地质和生物两方面超越人类的,地球力量是通过这些方式在我们体内折叠起来的。与社会科学中占主导地位的观点不同,我借鉴了生态批评的最新研究成果,提出了一种充满希望的天启解读。如果当代的世界末日是人类世社会生态风险的噩梦,它还会产生一些超越焦虑的东西--一些东西逃脱了,这种过度可能是因为他们那种变革性的感觉而被挖掘出来的,而不仅仅是因为他们在政治上倒退的消极态度而受到批评。因此,这篇文章将重点放在世界末日电影上,考察电影如何为我们提供了一种衡量我们对地球的敏感性的方法(而不是衡量地球对人类活动的敏感性)。本文分析了贝拉·塔尔执导的一部前卫、广受好评的电影:《都灵之马》(2011)。塔尔的电影代表了一种特殊的世界末日的愿景:不妥协,困难,在暗示但没有呈现的宇宙空虚中达到顶峰。这部电影远非好莱坞大片。尽管如此,这部电影还是将人类世启示录的许多焦虑浓缩成了一种强烈的形式,使它成为一种合适的工具,通过它来探索我们如何对地球敏感的文化政治。
In this article I suggest that fantasies of apocalypse are both a product and a producer of our current epoch-the Anthropocene-and that they also take us beyond this epoch by confronting what might be to come. I contend that “Anthropocene apocalypse” reveals how we have always been more-than-human in ways at once both geological and biological, ways through which earth forces have been folded within us. Against the dominant grain in social science and drawing on recent work in ecocriticism, I offer a hopeful reading of apocalypse. If contemporary apocalypse emerges as a nightmare of the Anthropocene’s socioecological risks, it also produces something over and above anxiety-something escapes, and such excesses might be mined for their transformative kind of feeling, not just criticized for their politically regressive negativity. The article therefore focuses on apocalyptic cinema, examining how film offers us a way of measuring our sensitivity to the Earth (rather than measuring the Earth’s sensitivity to human activities). The article analyzes one avant-garde, critically acclaimed film: The Turin Horse (2011), directed by Bela Tarr. Tarr’s film represents a particular kind of apocalyptic vision: uncompromising, difficult, culminating in cosmic emptiness that is implied but not presented. It is far from a Hollywood blockbuster. The film nonetheless distills into an intense form many anxieties of Anthropocene apocalypse, making it a suitable vehicle through which to explore the cultural politics of how we are sensitized to the Earth.
