Mae ‘uncivilization’ yn bodoli fel enw. Y
diffiniad a roddir yw “ |
1. |
The state of being uncivilized; savagery or barbarism. |
Ychydig yn anffodus i’r bobl hyn, efallai, ond nhw ddewisodd y
term.
Mae’r siŵr mae’r hyn maen nhw’n ei feddwl wrth y gair yw “not
civilisation in the meaning we have described above”.

O'n i'n cymryd eu bod nhw'n sôn am y broses - mae'r 'un' yn
rhagddodiad rhyfedd iawn i'w ddefnyddio o flaen enw tydi? Ond does wybod.

Pwnc/Subject: Re: Uncivilisation
Neu ydyn nhw’n defnyddio ‘uncivilisation’ fel
enw, mewn gwrthgyferbyniad â ‘civilisation’?
“..a
civilisation is
built on stories”
“It
is time for new stories … We
call this Uncivilisation.”
Dwi ddim yn meddwl bod eisiau
poeni gormod bod ‘anwareiddiad’ yn rhy negyddol – maen nhw wedi defnyddio gair
gyda’r rhagddodiad ‘un-‘ sydd yr un mor negyddol yn Saesneg. A beth yw
ystyr ‘uncivil’, ‘uncivilised’, wedi’r cyfan?

Pnawn da! Cael trafferth efo'r gair yma - "Dark
Mountain Project" ac yn defnyddio'r gair yn y cyd-destun canlynol:
"These
are precarious and unprecedented times. Our economies crumble, while beyond the
chaos of markets, the ecological foundations of our way of living near
collapse. Little that we have taken for granted is likely to come through this
century intact.
We
don’t believe that anyone – not politicians, not economists, not
environmentalists, not writers – is really facing up to the scale of this. As a
society, we are all still hooked on a vision of the future as an upgraded
version of the present. Somehow, technology or political agreements or ethical
shopping or mass protest are meant to save our civilisation from
self-destruction.
Well,
we don’t buy it. This project starts with our sense that civilisation as we
have known it is coming to an end; brought down by a rapidly changing climate,
a cancerous economic system and the ongoing mass destruction of the non-human
world. But it is driven by our belief that this age of collapse – which is
already beginning – could also offer a new start, if we are careful in our
choices.
The
end of the world as we know it is not the end of the world full stop.
Deeper
than oil, steel or bullets, a civilisation is built on stories: on the myths
that shape it and the tales told of its origins and destiny. We have herded
ourselves to the edge of a precipice with the stories we have told ourselves
about who we are: the stories of ‘progress’, of the conquest of ‘nature’, of
the centrality and supremacy of the human species.
It
is time for new stories. The Dark Mountain Project intends to conjure into
being new ways of seeing and writing about the world. We call this Uncivilisation.
Our
aim is to bring together writers and artists, thinkers and doers, to assault
the established citadels of literature and thought, and to begin to redraw the
maps by which we navigate the places and times in which we find
ourselves."
Mae gwefan y prosiect yma:
Mae anwaraidd / anwareiddiwch ac ati yn
swnio braidd yn rhy negyddol i mi, am ryw reswm, gan fod y prosiect yn ceisio
cychwyn rhywbeth newydd, ac eto mae'r "un" yn uncivilisation yn
awgrymu'r negyddol!
Byddai unrhyw ysbrydoliaeth yn help mawr!
