Abstract

The essay considers heterogeneous Black temporalities in West Papua, Indonesia's largest urban region. Here, "Papuan time" is an extension beyond the dilemmas of being human or not. This is the possibility of being a human that has not experienced irremediable loss or a future foreclosed. But rather an entity that endures an after-life beyond what anyone might know it; a life situated in the middle of freedom and abjection. Such a life takes place in a city, Jayapura, that appears perpetually unsettled, something always “new.” But in the repetition of such newness, it is a city that does not seem to go anywhere specific, that does not promise any sense of redemption. A city that never arrives.

没有到来的来世:巴布亚人如何让他们的生活变得重要

这篇文章考虑了印度尼西亚最大的城市地区西巴布亚的异质黑人暂时性。在这里，“巴布亚时间”是超越人类与非人类困境的延伸。这是人类没有经历无法弥补的损失或未来丧失抵押品赎回权的可能性。而是一个存在于来世的实体超出了人们的认知;一种处于自由和堕落之间的生活。这样的生活发生在查亚普拉市，它似乎永远不稳定，总是“新”的东西。但在这种新奇的重复中，这座城市似乎并没有走向任何特定的地方，也没有承诺任何救赎感。一座永不到达的城市。

期刊介绍： EPD: Society and Space is an international, interdisciplinary scholarly and political project. Through both a peer reviewed journal and an editor reviewed companion website, we publish articles, essays, interviews, forums, and book reviews that examine social struggles over access to and control of space, place, territory, region, and resources. We seek contributions that investigate and challenge the ways that modes and systems of power, difference and oppression differentially shape lives, and how those modes and systems are resisted, subverted and reworked. We welcome work that is empirically engaged and furthers a range of critical epistemological approaches, that pushes conceptual boundaries and puts theory to work in innovative ways, and that consciously navigates the fraught politics of knowledge production within and beyond the academy.
