摘要

摘要：本文选取了两部浪漫主义时代关于牙买加的殖民文本——本杰明·莫斯利的《糖论》和匿名小说《马利》——将森林与加勒比海的种族生态联系起来。从15世纪森林砍伐和甘蔗种植园交织在一起的历史开始，它将森林解读为一个非地方，帮助抵抗和逃离奴隶制，庇护不同的世俗居住模式，并指向形式和物质的替代概念。文章的结论是，森林是一个概念和物质场所，从中可以看出生存运动和跨越时间和空间的生态阻力。

"Oracles of Woods": Ecologies of Abandonment

Abstract:Taking up two Romantic-era colonial texts about Jamaica—Benjamin Moseley's Treatise on Sugar and the anonymous novel Marly—this essay considers the forest in relation to racial ecologies of the Caribbean. Beginning with the entwined history of deforestation and the sugar plantation in the fifteenth century, it reads the forest as a non-place aiding forms of resistance and escape from slavery, sheltering different modes of earthly inhabitation, and gesturing toward alternative conceptions of form and matter. The essay concludes with the forest as a conceptual and material site from which to constellate subsistence movements and ecological resistance across time and space.

期刊介绍： Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
