AB - This study seeks to analyze the meaning of marine plastic from a (post)humanistic perspective. In particular, I explore the relationship between marine plastic, humans, and the Earth through a new materialism approach, and examine how space and time are redefined in that relationship. To this end, I conducted field research at a marine conservation organization and research institute addressing marine plastic and looked at how marine plastic, the ocean, and the Earth are manifested. As a result, the dichotomous distinction between natural and artificial is the initial condition that causes research participants to begin their activities, but at the same time, participants experience the dichotomy being distorted through the fact that they are inseparable. Also, they embody trans-corporeality through the sense that plastic is crossing the human body. Additionally, as they investigate the relationship between humans, plastic, and the Earth, participants realize that beings have different temporalities, forming a new ethical sense. This study is original in that it does not view marine plastic as just a problem that takes the position that we can learn about the world 'through' marine debris, and through this, it seeks to awaken the politics and ethical practice of the everyday life.
