What follows is one quick and dirty way of thinking of a certain key difference between these two […]

Moving Environments, Day 1

Posted in Cinema, tagged , , , , on July 22, 2011 | 3 Comments »

What follows are notes from the first day of Moving Environments: Affect, Emotion, and Ecocinema. These are, needless to say, my own hastily drawn up notes (and I’m still a little jet-lagged from my arrival yesterday). Forgive the point form and abbreviation inconsistencies. Any errors are my own; any wonderful ideas are other people’s, unless […]

Herzog’s cave

Posted in Cinema, Visual culture, tagged , on June 10, 2011 | 3 Comments »

Cave of Forgotten Dreams is probably not an essential Werner Herzog film, and I sympathize with those (like Bill Benzon) who’d much rather just see the pictures and do without Herzog’s prattling on or the “banshee muzak,” as Bill calls it. In both the prattling and especially the banshee muzak (which is pretty good, for […]

Eco-onto-politics 3: Wilber, Integralism, & Whitehead

Posted in Philosophy, Process-relational thought, Spirit matter, tagged , , , , , , , on April 16, 2011 | 5 Comments »

This post continues from the previous in this series, which looked at integral ecophilosopher Sean Esbjorn-Hargens’s writing on the ontology of climate change. Here I examine the relationship between leading integral theorist Ken Wilber, integralist Esbjorn-Hargens, and process philosopher Alfred North Whitehead. It’s a little difficult to separate Wilber’s and Esbjorn-Hargens’s views on Whitehead. I […]

Observations: politics – media – empathy

Posted in Media ecology, Politics, tagged , , , , , on March 15, 2011 | 1 Comment »

A few observations from the events of the last week or so: (1) Tsunamis happen. When they do, in a globally media-connected world, they bring us all a little closer together. (Not all of us; those who don’t wish to be brought closer may drift further apart. But, to risk getting overly psychoanalytical, those who’ve […]

Cancun: what just happened?

Posted in Climate change, Eco-culture, tagged , on December 14, 2010 | 3 Comments »

Making sense of what happened at the COP 16 global climate change summit in Cancun is not easy, especially when environmental and climate justice activists seem so intensely divided among themselves (and when the mass media has paid so little attention to it all). Democracy Now yesterday pitted Friends of the Earth’s policy analyst Kate […]
