2021 Exchanging Fire: A Planetary History of the Explosion
https://eprints.lancs.ac.uk/id/eprint/163636/1/Exchanging_Fire_.pdf

The invention of near-instantaneous combustion – the fiery explosion – is an event in both in planetary and human history. While the concoction of a volatile mix of carbon, sulfur and nitrates by alchemists in 9th century China paved the way for firearms and gunpowder empires, ultra-highspeed deflagration is also arguably the first entirely new form of combustion on Earth since fire emerged in the Silurian Period some 410 million years ago. What does it mean, I ask, that the explosion is at once instrumental in the global rise of Western powers and a planetary event that exceeds the practices, strategies and imaginaries that organize its deployment? In this chapter I explore two related paradoxes of explosive firepower. The first is that the relatively rapid technological transfer of the firearm from China to Europe is at once a source of profound trauma for the ‘modernizing’ European subject and a key component in the triumphalist narrative of Western global expansion. The second is that the application of explosives in extractive industries both plays an important role in advancing the understanding of the geological strata – and hence the deep history of the Earth, and is of pivotal importance in transforming Earth systems and rock fabrics to such an extent that the very legibility of the Earth and is compromised. Extending the idea of planetary social thought (Clark and Szerszynski 2021), the chapter brings these paradoxes together as a way to reimagine Western colonization as a pyrogeographical process: at once a variation played on firepower of the Earth and an instrument of a specific world-shaping structural violence.

2022 Planetary ethnography: A primer

Many people and communities have engaged and encountered the planetary long before Sputnik 1 reached Earth orbitto become the first human-made object to cross the Kármán line. For centuries, looking up at the sky has served as an important way to navigate people’s location, both on Earth (Kursh and Kreps 1974)and within the Universe(Hamacher and Banks 2019). Indigenous communities recount their experience of centuries of encounters in space (Bawaka Country et al. 2020) and their cosmic connections to space (Young 1987). And extra-terrestrial planetary rendezvous on Earth are reportedby people and communities across the globe (Battaglia 2006; Saethre 2007).

In planetary ethnography, we want to trace people’s engagements with outer space that challenge dominant conceptions within scientificdiscourses. We hope that this approach will help usbring out the tensions, ambiguities and pluralities of the planetary. As Spivak puts it, “planet-thought”needs to include a historical reckoning where we continuously educate ourselves and embrace interrogations into the meanings of “outer”and “inner space” (Spivak 2015).

2020 Planetary Social Thought: The Anthropocene Challenge to the Social Sciences - Nigel Clark, Bronislaw Szerszynski
http://libgen.rs/book/index.php?md5=922A7CC8A1F3100A48597185F167E623

The Anthropocene has emerged as perhaps the scientific concept of the new millennium. Going further than earlier conceptions of the human–environment relationship, Anthropocene science proposes that human activity is tipping the whole Earth system into a new state, with unpredictable consequences. Social life has become a central ingredient in the dynamics of the planet itself.

How should the social sciences respond to the opportunities and challenges posed by this development? In this innovative book, Clark and Szerszynski argue that social thinkers need to revise their own presuppositions about the social: to understand it as the product of a dynamic planet, self-organizing over deep time. They outline ‘planetary social thought’: a transdisciplinary way of thinking social life with and through the Earth. Using a range of case studies, they show how familiar social processes can be radically recast when looked at through a planetary lens, revealing how the world-transforming powers of human social life have always depended on the forging of relations with the inhuman potentialities of our home planet.

The author was clearly one of the early pioneers along the path to a new way of perceiving reality. Clearly not the only one, he belonged to the first first straggling nodes of the emerging global network that would slowly set in motion the dynamics that would generate a perception of the cosmos as a stochastic process that has neither beginning nor end and the human species as being amongst a myriad perceptual mechanisms generated by this process in order to perceive the potential pathways to its own becoming, being and non being, and which at the time included such elements as Fitjof Capra, Arne Naess, James Lovelock, Lynn Margulis, Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela and a few others.

The history of the emergence of this unitive or non dual perception of the cosmos is a long one that goes back to the beginning of the emergence of homo sapiens, that has as yet to be told and when it finally is set down in writing Vernadsky's contribution will surely find acknowledgement therein. While the emergence of such a history may not be far away the works of Vernadsky will have to await its coming in order to take its due recognition as an important step in the evolution of human perceptual capacity.

The network of those with such perceptual capacities (sometimes wrongly called systems thinkers) is growing and the collective perceptions that it has begun to generate have begun to surpass anything that the perception of any single human individual is able to generate. The pathway to the recognition of this network and its engagement of earthprocesses has been laid by the concept of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network now actively functioning with global scope. Vernadsky may never have realized that his perceptions of the cosmos were the precursors of a new world that would lead to a new lease of life for the human species and an opportunity for the transformation of its global civilization into a sustainable one and for the facilitation of lifes conscious evolution through and beyond human being and its spread throughout the cosmos

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.
