Abstract

ABSTRACT This article responds to the question ‘What do we Want?’ posed to scholars in the feminist environmental humanities, by expressing the desire for a multitude of species to continue to exist through and beyond the era of the Sixth Great Extinction. Then, it questions who the ‘we’ is who would express this desire, and whether that category of enunciation presumes colonising, extractive, and falsely universalising positions. Is it possible to disconnect epistemologies, politics, and practices of global environmentalisms from colonial histories, epistemologies of scientific distance, and a disembodied Man? Can feminist, queer, and indigenous environmentalisms suggest more intimate modes of ecological knowing and being that are implicated rather than transcendent, tangible rather than immaterial, and scale shifting rather than distancing?

希望所有物种都成为：灭绝、环境愿景和亲密美学

摘要本文回答了“我们想要什么？”通过表达对众多物种在第六次大灭绝时代及其后继续存在的渴望，向女权主义环境人文学科的学者们提出了挑战。然后，它质疑谁是“我们”，谁会表达这种愿望，以及这种表述是否假定了殖民主义、榨取主义和虚假的普遍化立场。有可能将全球环境主义的认识论、政治和实践与殖民历史、科学距离的认识论和无实体的人脱节吗？女权主义、酷儿和土著环保主义是否能暗示出更亲密的生态认知和存在模式，这些模式是相互牵连而非超越的，是有形而非无形的，是规模变化而非疏远的？
