The Paris Agreement was followed by the warmest years on record, as the global temperature increased to 1.2 °C above the preindustrial level, leaving a margin of 0.3 °C before the point of no return. Some critics attribute the ineffectiveness of the Paris Agreement to the withdrawal of the United States. I argue that the ineffectiveness is rooted in the general and internalized cultural politics of climate act deferral. This essay focuses on mechanism of such deferral that is characteristic to the inner journey of the mass economic protagonists in China. As both the agent and victim of the global environmental crisis, these new economic protagonists—in particular, the middle and the lower strata— are caught in the intense rivalry between economic promise of good life and the ecological and biological deterioration of life it causes. From an engaging environmental humanities approach, the essay provides a critical reading of Wang Jiuliang’s Plastic China (2016), Ge Fei’s Expecting Spring Wind (2016), and Jon Betz and Taggart Siegel’s Seeds: The Untold Story (2016). The essay seeks to demonstrate the ways in which the filmmakers and writer capture the contradictory “selves” of these actorsvictims and depict the gulf between their economy and livelihood. How to heal these selves and rebuild their livelihoods despite the “economy” remains a key challenge., 陳悦(訳)}, pages = {56--70}, title = {気候変動時代における経済の主役 : 環境人文学の視点からの読解}, volume = {12}, year = {2021} }
