'Gathering the Mess': Repurposed Poetics and the Anthropocene

这个项目将探索“重新定位”诗学的概念，即在文本和物质上重复使用写作，以更动态地思考气候危机。它将确定这种做法如何创建模仿和突出环境变化的文本。我的博士研究将会问：更现实的写作形式如何构建自己的思辨思维形式？它将探索如何回收和修复非科幻文学(特别是诗歌)--产生与我们不断变化的气候相适应的独特文本。我会争辩说，这种独创的风格为应对气候变化提供了一种更具活力和道德的政治回应。我的项目将发展其理论框架，研究贝壳、石头、冰和诗歌，作为与它们所处环境相对应的活档案。我会主张将诗歌视为活的、动态的形式，可以对生态和文化的变化做出反应，并询问循环使用的写作可能如何模仿或体验类似的寿命？我将主要关注美国语境下的当代诗歌(凯亚·桑兹、布伦达·肖内西、朱莉安娜·斯帕尔、本·勒纳、克劳迪娅·兰金、克雷格·桑托斯·佩雷斯、德格纳努克·奥克皮克)，并受到更广泛的后殖民写作的启发，如凯西·杰特尼尔·基金纳和又名尼维亚纳的作品。我的研究范围将是思考这种循环写作的伦理不可或缺的一部分，以及与殖民主义密不可分的气候变化的不平等痛苦。我的研究借鉴了凯瑟琳·尤索夫对“档案”(作为环境变化史的活记录)一词的重新设计，我将继续询问，回收写作可能如何模仿或经历类似的寿命？受最近对冰图书馆和人类作为气候档案的研究的启发，我的项目将把这个合理的理论基础转化为对当代文学文体学和环境的原创研究。它将进一步确定文学如何帮助我们思考--应对我们的气候危机，引发全球不平等，以形成更有效的社会反应

This project will explore the notion of 'repurposed' poetics, whereby writing is recycled - both textually and materially - to think more dynamically about the climate crisis. It will identify how such practices can create texts that mimic and highlight environmental change as it unfolds. My PhD research will ask: how might more realistic forms of writing construct their very own form of speculative thinking? It will explore how non-science fiction literature (specifically, poetry) can be recycled and remediated - producing texts that are uniquely attuned to our ever-changing climate. I will argue that this original stylism affords a political response to climate change that is more dynamic and ethical. My project will develop its theoretical framework, investigating shells, stones, ice and poems as living archives that correspond to their environments. I will argue for viewing poetry as living, dynamic forms that can react to changes of ecology and of culture, and ask how recycled writing might mimic or experience a similar kind of lifespan? I will focus principally on contemporary poetry from US contexts (Kaia Sands, Brenda Shaughnessy, Juliana Spahr, Ben Lerner, Claudia Rankine, Craig Santos Perez, dg nanouk okpik), informed by wider post-colonial writing, such as that by Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner and Aka Niviâna. The scope of my study will be integral in thinking through the ethics of such recycled writing, and the unequal suffering of climate change tied inextricably to colonialism My research takes its cue from Kathryn Yusoff's reworking of the term 'archive' (as living records of the histories of environmental change), and I will go on to ask how recycled writing might mimic or experience a similar kind of lifespan? Inspired by recent studies of ice libraries and humans-as-climate-archives, my project will transpose this sound theoretical basis to an original study of contemporary literary stylistics and the environment. It will further identify how literature might help us think-with our climate crisis, eliciting its global inequalities to shape a more effective social response
