Once this blog migrates to the new site — which should happen as soon as the UVM blogmasters press the right buttons and set the transition into motion — I plan to start a regular (weekly or so) feature directing readers to interesting developments in ecoculture and geophilosophy. (And sometimes “mediapolitics,” where it converges with […]

progressive priorities: jobs, movement-building, Jon Stewart

Posted in Politics, tagged , , on November 3, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Now that the election results are in, we can all go back to thinking about what U.S. citizens (and non-citizen residents like me) can do about the sad state of affairs in this country. Gara LaMarche’s and Deepak Bhargava’s recent Nation piece The Road Ahead for Progressives: Back to Basics captures the overall picture quite […]

the “house of cards” house of cards

For all my skepticism toward most “climate skepticism,” I find the case of Judith Curry very interesting. This recent post at her blog Climate Etc. repeatedly resorts to metaphors like “‘Alice down the rabbit hole’ moments” and “bucket[s] of cold water being poured over my head” to describe her experiences venturing outside the warm world […]

psychogeographic landscape cinema

Posted in Cinema, Visual culture, tagged , , on September 11, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Andrew Ray over at Some Landscapes has been posting about experimental landscape films, including Chris Welsby‘s Wind Vane, Tree, and other “landscape-generated landscape films”; Sarah Turner’s Perestroika; the “Land Art for the landless” films/performances of Francis Alÿs; and others. Catherine Grant writes about Turner’s hypnotic and haunting Perestroika at filmanalytical. “Films think,” Turner says, “they […]

Immanence provides news and views at the intersections of ecology, culture, politics, media, and philosophy. Its focus is the theory and practice of how humans make sense of, and respond to, the eco-political and eco-cultural challenges of our time. In fusing the “eco-” of ecology with “politics” and “culture,” Immanence grounds itself in the assumption […]

Earth Day 40

Posted in Climate change, Eco-culture, Politics, tagged , , , on April 23, 2010 | 4 Comments »

I’ve been posting links to Earth Day news in the shadow blog (which you can follow in the column to your right on the Immanence main page). The most interesting news, to my mind, was the initiative for a Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth and the calls to establish an international climate […]

meteorologists on the moon

Trusting a weather forecaster to tell you about climate change is like trusting the view from your bedroom window to inform you about what’s happening in China. (Unless, of course, you live in China.) Why is this so hard to understand? These pieces at the New York Times, Dot Earth, and Grist help us get […]

‘dark flow’ & the vitality of emptiness

Posted in Philosophy, Spirit matter, Visual culture, tagged , , , , on December 1, 2009 | 5 Comments »

The image of dark flow, described as 1400 galaxy clusters streaming toward the edge of the universe at blistering speed in the ongoing “afterglow” of the big bang (or something like that), has haunted me ever since I read about it several days ago. Caused “shortly after the big bang by something no longer in […]

more on Žižek & nature’s discontents

Posted in Philosophy, tagged , on November 30, 2009 | 2 Comments »

It’s interesting to watch a topic spin itself out rhizomically across the blogosphere. Picking up on Žižek’s ecological musings, Levi Bryant seems more or less in agreement with what I had argued here last week, as does Michael Austin, while Ben Woodard criticizes the narrowing of the “ecology of concepts of nature” (a point I […]

‘2012’ and all that

Posted in Media ecology, Spirit matter, Visual culture, tagged , , , , on November 17, 2009 | 4 Comments »

Back in the mid-1990s when I was researching my book Claiming Sacred Ground — on the ‘sacralization’ of space, place, and landscape, with a focus on two places where it’s been happening at a rapid clip over the last three or four decades (Glastonbury, England, and Sedona, Arizona, which has been in the news recently […]

polar bears for green blogs

Posted in Eco-culture, Visual culture, tagged on November 4, 2009 | 4 Comments »

This blog was added to the Directory of Best Green Blogs earlier today. To honor that I thought I would re-post a link to one of my favorite climate change related videos: the plastic bag polar bears emerging from the subway vent and melting back into them (i.e., the Environmental Defense Fund NYC subway ad […]

blog action day

The more blog action, the less the climate will change? Or something like that… I’ve been putting some of these in the Shadow Blog.
