Abstract

Abstract As capitalist society remains incapable of addressing climate breakdown, one measure is waiting in the wings: solar geoengineering. No other technology can cut global temperatures immediately. It would alleviate the symptoms of the crisis, not its causes. But might it be combined with radical emissions cuts? This essay, the final instalment of two, subjects geoengineering to a materialist psychoanalysis and argues that it represents a fantasy of repression, setting itself up for a dreadful return of the repressed.

未来是终止的冲击:论地球工程的二律背反和精神病理学。第二部分

由于资本主义社会仍然无法应对气候崩溃，一种措施正在等待:太阳能地球工程。没有其他技术可以立即降低全球气温。它将缓解危机的症状，而不是危机的根源。但它会不会与激进的减排相结合呢?这篇文章是两篇文章中的最后一篇，将地球工程置于唯物主义的精神分析之下，并认为它代表了压抑的幻想，为被压抑者的可怕回归奠定了基础。

期刊介绍： Historical Materialism is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to exploring and developing the critical and explanatory potential of Marxist theory. The journal started as a project at the London School of Economics from 1995 to 1998. The advisory editorial board comprises many leading Marxists, including Robert Brenner, Maurice Godelier, Michael Lebowitz, Justin Rosenberg, Ellen Meiksins Wood and others. Marxism has manifested itself in the late 1990s from the pages of the Financial Times to new work by Fredric Jameson, Terry Eagleton and David Harvey. Unburdened by pre-1989 ideological baggage, Historical Materialism stands at the edge of a vibrant intellectual current, publishing a new generation of Marxist thinkers and scholars.
