Abstract

ABSTRACT Extinctionism and efilism were once considered lunatic fringe movements but are increasingly popular. They focus on immanence, care and prevention of life but are maligned as being death cults. Covertly the protection of the yet-to-be lives over those of citizens, the rise in suicide, murderous political acts from welfare cuts to genocide and individually driven massacres are understood as aberrations. The status of death itself is now in question over its Semiocapitalisation – a signifier or spectacle. This article expresses the crucial nature of materiality in thinking death and the various trajectories of the antagonistic relationship the human has with death which could (and should in certain circumstances) be loving, vitalist and as prevention and cessation of life could offer a future open to nature and the potentialisation of a natural epoch.

拥抱死亡，打开世界

灭绝主义和生态保护主义曾经被认为是极端的边缘运动，但现在越来越流行。他们注重内在性，关心和预防生命，但被诽谤为死亡邪教。对尚未出生的人的保护暗中凌驾于对公民的保护之上，自杀率的上升，从削减福利到种族灭绝和个人驱动的大屠杀等凶残的政治行为，都被理解为反常行为。死亡本身的地位现在受到质疑，因为它的半大写——一个能指或景观。这篇文章表达了思考死亡时物质性的关键性质，以及人类与死亡之间对抗关系的各种轨迹，这种关系可以(在某些情况下应该)是爱的，生机勃勃的，作为生命的预防和停止，可以为自然提供一个开放的未来和自然时代的潜力。
