摘要

摘要:本文探讨了人类与土地、时间和历史(人类和行星)的不同关系,这些关系组织了对1811-12年新马德里地震的反应,现在又成为对人类世的反应的特征。土著居民和定居者的说法将地震与灾难性的破裂联系在一起,但他们对灾难的定位不同。对美国来说,这场灾难是一场地震,是人类无能为力的地质启示。联邦政府的干预试图将该地区恢复到民族面向未来的时代,而浪漫主义历史和地质幻想则通过将“印第安人”与文化和地质的过去联系起来,补充了定居者-民族时间在土地上的铭文。当地的解释将地震与殖民主义所造成的持续破裂联系在一起。在泛土著复兴运动中流传,对地震的多时间性反殖民评估利用了预言的能量,反映了马克·里夫金(Mark Rifkin)所说的预言的能力,即收集超越时间的可能性,因为它们将地球的过去和土地的现状交织在一起,使土著的未来再次成为可能。最近研究人类世的方法复制了这种划分,要么延续地质幻想的死亡政治,要么接受凯尔·波伊斯·怀特(《公民波塔瓦托米》)所描述的“亲属时间”的修复性改编。

Unsettled Ground: Indigenous Prophecy, Geological Fantasy, and the New Madrid Earthquakes
Abstract:This essay explores the differing relations to land, time, and history—human and planetary—that organized responses to the New Madrid Earthquakes of 1811–12 and that now characterize responses to the Anthropocene. Indigenous and settler accounts connected the earthquakes to a catastrophic rupture in time, but they located that catastrophe differently. For the US, the disaster was seismic, a geological revelation of human powerlessness. Federal intervention sought to restore the region to the future-oriented time of the nation, while Romantic history and geological fantasy supplemented the inscription of settler-national time on the land by identifying the "Indian" with cultural and geological pasts. Indigenous interpretations connected the quakes to the ongoing rupture that colonialism instantiated. Circulated through the pan-Indigenous revival, the polychronicity of anticolonial assessments of the quakes drew on the energy of prophecy, reflecting what Mark Rifkin identifies as prophecy's ability to gather other-than-chronological possibilities as they interwove the earth's past and the land's present state to make Indigenous futures possible again. Recent approaches to the Anthropocene replicate this division, alternately perpetuating the necropolitics of geological fantasy and embracing a reparative adaptation of what Kyle Powys Whyte (Citizen Potawatomi) describes as "kinship time."

期刊介绍: American Quarterly represents innovative interdisciplinary scholarship that engages with key issues in American Studies. The journal publishes essays that examine American societies and cultures, past and present, in global and local contexts. This includes work that contributes to our understanding of the United States in its diversity, its relations with its hemispheric neighbors, and its impact on world politics and culture. Through the publication of reviews of books, exhibitions, and diverse media, the journal seeks to make available the broad range of emergent approaches to American Studies.
