摘要

美墨边境地区曾经拥有各种各样的自然和社会环境,其中许多环境已经因加强地缘政治边界而发生了不可逆转的变化。重新思考这些边境地区的形式和目的是一个至关重要的政治目标,但未来对边境的大多数思考仍然局限于想象被委婉地重塑为“可持续”替代品的新版边境墙。本文分析了流行设计项目的局限性,这些项目有效地为民族国家的证券化势在必行洗白。然后,它转向了一个鲜为人知的推测性项目,该项目通过多媒体模型从地下隧道的角度重新构想边境地区。这篇文章借鉴了批判性环境媒体研究的见解,以说明特定媒体形式在表达未来世界时的可供性,并更加关注关怀。这一分析提出,毁灭性的猜测是未来思维的一种肯定形式,它指向使人类和非人类世界繁荣的基础设施,而不是强化地缘政治鸿沟暴力等级的基础设施。

Ruinous Speculation, Tunnel Environments, and the Sustainable Infrastructures of the Border
The US-Mexico borderlands used to host a wide range of natural and social environments, many of which have become irreversibly altered by the structures built to reinforce geopolitical boundaries. To rethink the form and purpose of these borderlands is a political objective of utmost importance, yet most future thinking about the border has remained restricted to imagining new versions of border walls euphemistically rebranded as “sustainable” alternatives. This essay analyzes the limitations of popular design projects that effectively greenwash the securitization imperative of the nation-state. It then turns to a lesser-known speculative project that reimagines the borderlands from the perspective of underground tunnels through a multimedia model. The essay draws on the insights of critical environmental media studies to illustrate the affordances of specific media forms for articulating future worlds with a greater focus on care. This analysis proposes ruinous speculation as an affirmative form of future thinking that orients toward infrastructures that enable human and nonhuman worlds to thrive and away from infrastructures that reinforce the violent hierarchies of the geopolitical divide.
