摘要

生活方式的迁移和气候危机的生存威胁通过逃离的需要统一起来。对遥远的、原始的避难所的地理想象不仅定义了与这些现象的当代关系,而且这些想象在殖民主义中有其起源。关于地理和殖民历史如何影响人们对逃离的想象的研究还不发达。本文以澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚岛为例,通过对在线新闻文章、旅游博客和历史文本的批判性话语分析来解决这一差距。这些文本是塔斯马尼亚档案和关于塔斯马尼亚身份的流行文化话语的样本。马丁·波林(Martin Polin)的地堡、地球的黑盒子项目、旅游业和树木变化成为展示西方对塔斯马尼亚的地理想象与逃避主义相互关联的关键地点。通过这些文本分析档案,揭示了塔斯马尼亚州哪些地方身份被认为是可取的,为什么,由谁,并说明了它们是如何不平等地分布的。调查塔斯马尼亚岛的逃避主义为其他塞特犬殖民地和荒野地区的类似分析提供了机会,开始讨论末世论、旅游和移民之间的关系,并询问我们如何去殖民化它们。

Geographical imaginaries of escape: Discourses of escapism in the Tasmanian archive

Geographical imaginaries of escape: Discourses of escapism in the Tasmanian archive

Lifestyle migration and existential threats of the climate crisis are unified through the need for escape. Geographical imaginaries of distant, pristine refuges not only define contemporary relationships with these phenomena, but these imaginaries have their inception in colonialism. Research into how geography and colonial history influence imaginaries of escape is underdeveloped. This article uses the Australian island state of Tasmania to address this gap through a critical discourse analysis of online news articles, travel blogs, and history texts. These texts sample the Tasmanian archive and popular cultural discourses about Tasmania’s identity. Martin Polin’s bunker, the Earth’s Black Box project, and tourism and tree-change emerge as key sites for showing how Western geographical imaginaries of Tasmania are reciprocally related to escapism. Analysing the archive through these texts reveals what place identities are deemed desirable in Tasmania, why and by whom, and illustrates how they are unequally distributed. Investigating escapism in Tasmania offers opportunities for similar analyses in other setter colonies and wilderness places, begins conversations about the relationships between apocalypticism, tourism, and migration, and asks how we may decolonise them.
