Mae'n ymddangos fel petaen nhw'n defnyddio
'civilisation' fel berf yma ac felly tybed fyddai 'dadwareiddio'n gwneud y tro?

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!
