Nagarjuna & ecophilosophy, pt. 2

Posted in Eco-theory, Philosophy, Spirit matter, tagged , , , , , , , on November 14, 2009 | 8 Comments »

Continuing from the previous post… “For Buddhism,” Clark writes, “the negative path of the destruction of illusion is inseparably linked to the positive path of an open, awakened, and compassionate response to a living, non-objectifiable reality, the ‘nature that is no nature.’’’

Nagarjuna, ecophilosophy, & the practice of liberation

Posted in Eco-theory, Philosophy, Spirit matter, tagged , , , , , , on November 14, 2009 | 8 Comments »

John Clark’s recent article in Capitalism Nature Socialism, “On being none with nature: Nagarjuna and the ecology of emptiness,” has gotten my neurons firing in a productive way. Clark is a political philosopher whose book The Anarchist Moment had long ago excited me about the prospect of melding together a Daoist-flavored, but Murray Bookchin-inspired eco-anarchism […]

More-or-less-(than)-human

Posted in Eco-theory, tagged , , , , , , on October 19, 2022 | 1 Comment »

The term “more-than-human” has become a popular way of designating the “nonhuman” within the environmental humanities. Other terms used include “other-than-human,” and much less frequently “unhuman” and “inhuman,” with the latter’s negative connotations upended (successfully or not) to read positively. “More-than-human” was, to my knowledge, first used by David Abram in his 1996 ecophilosophical bestseller […]

Toward a non-fascist ecocultural activism

Posted in Manifestos & auguries, Politics, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 16, 2022 | 3 Comments »

This post continues the ethical and political thinking I have shared in some of my eco-theoretical manifestos and asketological writings (including parts of Shadowing the Anthropocene). Its interest in ‘non-fascist life’ takes its lead from critical analysts of fascism including Wilhelm Reich, Erich Fromm, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, and more recent writers […]

Readings on ecofascism and far-right ecologism

Posted in Eco-culture, Politics, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 29, 2022 | Leave a Comment »

While it’s easy to overuse the term “ecofascism,” applying it to things that don’t necessarily deserve it (the debate might be a little like the one I’ve been following over whether Putinist Russia qualifies as fascist), it’s important for anyone involved in environmental issues to have a sense of where the term does apply and […]

Pluto descending a staircase

I’ve created a new page for my trilogy of piano recordings, made between 2006 and sometime in the mid-2010s, which made use of the Yamaha Clavinova’s capacity for altering the piano’s tuning system away from the “equal temperament” westerners (and now the world) have gotten used to, and toward some more interesting sonic terrain. As […]

Musical occasions

Posted in Music & soundscape, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on December 28, 2019 | 5 Comments »

Music is an occasional topic on this blog (as shown in the Soundscape category). It was my first university discipline and love (when I was an undergrad at York’s wonderfully eclectic Music Department), still figures in my scholarly work from time to time (as in my work on Cape Breton Island and the Chernobyl Zone), […]

33⅓ Environmental Studies greats (or, a canon, revisited)

Posted in Academe, Eco-culture, tagged , , , , , , on April 9, 2015 | 10 Comments »

The following is a significantly revised version of an article I posted to the Indications blog (and etc) five and a half years ago. I was curious to see how much of it still holds (a lot, I think), so I’ve revisited it and expanded its proposed sort-of-canon, in the second part of what follows, into a list of […]

Under Western Skies 3

Posted in Academe, Eco-culture, tagged , , , on August 27, 2014 | 2 Comments »

The preliminary program is up for the third Under Western Skies conference, “Intersections of Environments, Technologies, Communities,” which will be held in a couple of weeks at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta. And it looks fantastic. I think the biennial UWS gatherings are becoming one of the leading interdisciplinary forums for environmental thinking, critique, and […]

First after-thoughts…

Posted in Cinema, Philosophy, Visual culture, tagged on July 30, 2013 | 5 Comments »

It arrived a few days ago. Feels good to grasp in the hand: thick, solid, “capacious” (as Steven Shaviro says in one of the cover blurbs). And Tarkovsky has rarely looked as green as on the cover. But I’ve already found an indefensible oversight:
