Abstract

In this paper, I examined dark ecology by Timothy Morton with the concepts of ecology without nature, the ecological thought, and hyperobjects to bring modern dualistic thinking to an end. Morton specifically invented the term, hyperobjects to describe objects that are so massively distributed in time and space, such as global warming, styrofoam, and radioactive plutonium that are really exist but we can feel and know only a part of them. Morton suggests that the ecology in the Anthropocene should be ambiguous and dark, dark-depressing and dark-uncanny, and could also be sweet and kind, while entwined and interconnected as a form of mesh in networks with human and nonhuman things. He insists we never know what exactly a hyperobject is but absolutely here as you can feel and acknowledge. In Ceremony, Silko shows how the hyperobject works and makes us feel and celebrate without following the line dualism has already drawn. This is what dark ecology and hyperobjects are for; the end of the dualism.
