摘要

摘要:本文研究了在南非和纳米比亚之间的Vioolsdrift/Noordoewer边界的Orange/Gariep河下游拟建的一座新水坝，这是一个易受气候变化影响的干旱边境地区。拟建的大坝既是一个实物，也是一个边界概念，有助于对这一尚未充分研究的地区的地理想象。通过推测性地将恢复力的概念淹没在河流中，文章重新审视了人类世的论文，重新思考了恢复力理论，揭示了一系列问题，这些问题对气候危机背景下恢复力一词的意义和潜力提出了疑问。

Rethinking river resilience: the lower Orange/Gariep river

ABSTRACT This article investigates a new dam proposed on the lower Orange/Gariep river at the Vioolsdrift/Noordoewer border between South Africa and Namibia, an arid borderland region vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The proposed dam is employed as both a material object and a boundary concept to contribute to geographical imaginations of this understudied area. By speculatively submerging the concept of resilience in the river, the article revisits the Anthropocene thesis and rethinks resilience theory, revealing a nexus of issues that open questions about the meaning and potential of the term resilience in the context of the climate crisis.
