摘要

摘要:梅诺米尼人长期以来一直利用并共同创造生态系统中的能量流,特别是枫树。然而,美国占领了几乎所有的梅诺米尼土地,将生态系统转变为工业系统,包括枫糖。此外,热力学的能量观念使超越人类的力量变成了“做功的能力”。然而,许多梅诺米尼人在互惠的道德体系和相互联系的知识传统的指导下,从一种接地气的、关系的角度来理解超越人类世界的“能量”。能源研究批判性地考察了社会和文化是如何与能源系统,特别是化石燃料纠缠在一起的。然而,从热力学之外的角度对移民殖民主义对生态能源的影响进行更多的研究将大大加强这一领域。因此,我们提出三个主要论点。首先,美国移民殖民主义是一种环境不公正的行为,它暴力地侵占了美诺米尼人祖传土地上蕴含的大量能源或财富。其次,梅诺米尼人通过利用其祖先的知识体系和物种间的伦理框架来适应和抵抗殖民,同时利用占主导地位的科学和技术来推进他们的目标。最后,糖枫树提供了一个将土著能量理论纳入定居者殖民主义研究的物质例子。

A Forest of Energy: Settler Colonialism, Knowledge Production, and Sugar Maple Kinship in the Menominee Community
Abstract:The Menominee have long tapped into and cocreated energy flows within ecosystems, particularly with maple trees. The United States, however, seized nearly all Menominee land, transforming ecosystems into industrial systems, including for maple sugar. Moreover, thermodynamic ideas of energy rendered more-than-human beings into "the ability to do work." Many Menominees, however, have understood "energy" in the more-than-human world from a grounded, relational perspective, guided by an ethical system of reciprocity and an intellectual tradition of interconnectedness. Energy studies has critically examined how societies and cultures are entangled with energy systems, particularly fossil fuels. More research, however, on settler colonialism's impacts on ecological energies from perspectives beyond thermodynamics would greatly strengthen the field. We therefore make three major arguments. First, American settler colonialism is an act of environmental injustice that violently appropriated vast stores of energy, or wealth, embodied in the Menominee's ancestral lands. Second, the Menominee consistently adapted to and resisted colonization by utilizing their ancestral knowledge systems and interspecies ethical frameworks while appropriating dominant science and technology to further their goals. Finally, sugar maple trees provide a material example from which to incorporate an Indigenous energy theory into the study of settler colonialism.

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.
