项目摘要

This interdisciplinary research proposal addresses the need for critical engagement withnarrative and storytelling, essential for understanding representations of ecological crisis(DeLoughrey, 2019). Whether our stories are about microplastics, Greta Thunberg orloss of indigenous ways of life, 'we compulsively create [stories] around everything andanything' (Marshall, 2014, p.96). However, although we're living in 'the most importantyears in history' (IPCC, 2018), the magnitude of our environmental crisis has been slowto penetrate public consciousness, signalling a failure of communication processes(Penrhyn Jones, 2019). Against a possibility of wholescale loss and existential risk(Spratt and Dunlop, 2017 [2018]) environmental stories are themselves in crisis.Postcolonialism and poststructuralism demand sensitivity to 'the politics of specificity'(Gregory et al, 2009). However, the specificity of place, vulnerability and even culpabilitymay be subsumed by the totalising story of the anthropocene, spanning deep time andthe whole world (Penrhyn Jones, 2019).This planned research explores the inherent connection between progressive, inclusiveand ecological values; develops an analytical framework for understanding how radicalimagination is communicated and/or embodied in environmental documentary andalternative media; and will result in traditional text-based scholarship, with threeaccompanying research films exploring and articulating the relevant debates.Research questions-When analysing environmental documentaries released in the 21st century, to what extentcan their stories and/or storytelling process be defined as 'radical'?-How do postcolonial, critical race and feminist theories complicate and enhance thisdebate?-How is the radical imagination of environmental stories enabled or limited by specificmedia forms, their creative conventions, and production processes?

这一跨学科研究提案解决了对叙事和讲故事进行批判性参与的需要，这对于理解生态危机的表现至关重要(DeLoughrey，2019年)。无论我们的故事是关于微塑料、Greta Thunberg还是土著生活方式的丧失，我们都会强迫自己围绕每件事和任何事情创作[故事](马歇尔，2014，第96页)。然而，尽管我们生活在“历史上最重要的年份”(政府间气候变化专门委员会，2018年)，但我们环境危机的严重程度已经缓慢地渗透到公众意识中，这标志着沟通过程的失败(彭林·琼斯，2019年)。面对整体损失和生存风险的可能性(Spratt和Dunlop，2017[2018])，环境故事本身也处于危机之中。后殖民主义和后结构主义要求对“特定政治”的敏感性(Gregory等人，2009年)。然而，地点、脆弱性甚至罪责的特殊性可以归结为人类世的总体故事，跨越了深刻的时间和整个世界(彭林·琼斯，2019年)。这项计划中的研究探索了进步、包容和生态价值之间的内在联系；开发了一个分析框架，以理解激进的想象是如何在环境纪录片和替代媒体中传达和/或体现的；研究问题--当分析21世纪发布的环境纪录片时，他们的故事和/或讲故事的过程在多大程度上可以被定义为“激进的”？-后殖民主义、批判性种族和女权主义理论如何使这场辩论复杂化和增强？-特定的媒体形式、创作惯例和制作过程如何使环境故事的激进想象力成为可能或受到限制？
