THINKING CATASTROPHIC THOUGHTS: A TRAUMATIZED SENSIBILITY ON A HOTTER PLANET | SpringerLink
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s11231-022-09340-3

While catastrophizing has traditionally been pathologized within psychoanalytic traditions, in this paper I suggest that cataclysmic realities of climate change call upon all of us to cultivate catastrophic thinking. Our new climatic normal demands of us not only new concepts and language, but also a new sort of thinking, building on Wilfred Bion’s ideas that to think is to use our mind’s capacity to be in touch with internal and external realities. I suggest that sometimes people are able to learn from their experiences of trauma in ways that disrupt the culturally dominant anenvironmental orientation, that is, an orientation that brackets out the more-than-human environment. Instead, they develop a capacity to think catastrophically about and to be permeable to the more-than-human environment. What I call their “traumatized sensibility” can offer guidance as we come to co-exist with and respond more consciously to our hotter planet

2014 Satellite Planetarity and the Ends of the Earth
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/275445137_Satellite_Planetarity_and_the_Ends_of_the_Earth

This essay examines the militarization of extraterrestrial and extraterritorial spaces such as the high seas, outer space, and Antarctica since the onset of the Cold War. While environmental studies has generally focused on national topographies, this essay instead imagines the earth through visual tropes of the extraterrestrial. Mapping these “outer spaces”—terrae incognitae—within and outside the earth has been key to our modern understanding of the planet and to visualizing the global environment, including climate change. Turning to the militarization of outer space and Antarctica, the essay examines satellite vision produced by the Cold War systems of surveillance, particularly as inscribed by New Zealand author James George. The conclusion of the essay turns to ways these technologies are constitutive of visions of the global in the Anthropocene.

Gaian Systems is a pioneering exploration of the dynamic and complex evolution of Gaia’s many variants, with special attention to Lynn Margulis’s foundational role in these developments. Delving into many issues not previously treated in accounts of Gaia, Bruce Clarke describes the history of a theory that has the potential to help us survive an environmental crisis of our own making.

Planetary negative commons | Cairn International Edition
https://www.cairn-int.info/journal-multitudes-2021-4-page-117.htm

While reflections on the Anthropocene tend to evoke new “spatial” divisions, other schools of thought, centered on the concepts of collapse or the threat of extinction, prefer temporal paradigms. Whether Bruno Latour’s Terrestrial attractor or the contemporary reworking of concepts like “the time of the end” or the idea that it is “too late” to act, the coordinates used to think about the future from either perspective seem to be thoroughly orthogonal. Nevertheless, in recent years another attractor has emerged to complicate the picture. Authors as diverse as Dipesh Chakrabarty, Benjamin Bratton, and Lukáš Likavčan are now emphasizing the specifically “planetary” dimension of current problems.

This short text is an attempt to investigate this claim through the prism of our work on negative commons. As Chakrabarty—one of the first to explore the idea—himself admits, one of the challenges of Planetarity is the extreme difficulty of politicizing the issues at stake on the spatial and temporal scales with which the concept confronts us. In our view, the notion of negative commons opens up a line of thought that reveals new levers of political action situated right in the interstices between the Globe (manifestation of the classic figures of empire, capital, etc., on which criticism usually exerts its grip) and the Planet.

The questions posed by these categories, and the horizons they look to, differ considerably. We will start with the Globe, the more or less spatial translation of the concept of Modernity, itself an era or a temporal structure supposedly characterized by new sciences and, more broadly, a relationship to the world, a novel way of inhabiting and conceptualizing it

2019 From the human to the planetary: Speculative futures of care
http://concept.lib.ed.ac.uk/index.php/mat/article/view/4960

This is largely a theoretical, speculative essay that takes on the question of what ‘care’looks like at a moment when climate change is increasingly taking center stage in public and political discussions. Starting with two new practices, namely, humanitarian care for nonhumans and One Health collaborations, I seek to determine what forms of political care can incorporate the well-being of future generations and future iterations of the earth. After an exploration of One Health as an approach to planetary care, I ask what its parts enable us to think, despite its limitations; I focus on the new human-nonhuman assemblages connected through different biosocial models, such as neuroscience or immunology, to see how these scientific theories might enable new possibilities. I argue that a focus on biological ecologies at different scales–as opposed to ethicomoral categories like humanity–can open the way to a larger imaginary of human and nonhuman flourishing and a space for nonmoralistic politics.

What are the implications of astrobiology for society? When one considers that astrobiology encompasses research on the origin and evolution of life, the existence of life beyond Earth, and the future of life on Earth and beyond, the scope of that deceptively simple question becomes clear. It embraces not only the religious, ethical, legal, and cultural concerns inherent in those subjects, but also the meaning of life and even human destiny in a universe where humans are unique—or not. Particularly in the area of extraterrestrial life, which has been a focus for astrobiology and society concerns in terms of implications, the issues have been global and contentious. The consequences have long been vividly played out in science fiction by classic authors such as Arthur C. Clarke in Childhood’s End or 2001: A Space Odyssey, and by more recent writers like Ted Chiang in “Story of Your Life” and its film adaption Arrival.

How can we even approach such questions as the impact of discovering life beyond Earth, whether microbial or intelligent? How can we transcend anthropocentrism when we address concepts such as life and intelligence, culture and civilization, technology and communication? And in what areas is humanity most likely to be transformed by such a discovery? We cannot fully answer these questions in this chapter, but there is now a surprisingly substantial literature that does address them. As with astrobiology, it is prudent for current researchers in the subject to be aware of this much shorter history, whether to contest or expand it. In this chapter we provide an overview of this literature on astrobiology and society. Substantial as it may seem, it is only the leading edge of what is sure to become an entire discipline of its own, especially if life is actually discovered out there among the stars
