On the Climate Debate
A few tweets written by Bruno Latour for his talk at the Centre for the Anthropology of Sustainability (CAOS) in London:
With Gaia play @ UCL Saturday we could follow how much more lively is the climate debate when we move away from totality to local attachment
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 15 Février 2015In a crucial book in French Aykut & Dahan Gouverner le climat shows that climate debate should be repoliticized rematerialized & relocalized
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 15 Février 2015Ecology is always emptied by too much totality, but connectedness and holism are largely inimical, hence the importance of pluralising Gaia.
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 15 Février 2015In addition to the play, a great way to pluralize Gaia is to visit the show on Lovelock at London Science Museum where his papers are kept.
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 15 Février 2015The Science Museum exhibition on Lovelock shows how difficult it is for readers not to project totality onto the Gaia web of connections.
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 15 Février 2015The return of territory at #UCLCAOS meeting fits with 2015 being international year of soils, an ideal way to reconnect locally with compost
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 15 Février 2015Haraway has often underlined that compositionism & compost have same roots deep in earth exactly what Earth seen as a totality risks missing
