520 The recent 10,000 year history of climatic stability on
Earth that enabled the rise of agriculture and
domestication, the growth of cities, numerous
technological revolutions, and the emergence of modernity
is now over. We accept that in the latest phase of this
era, modernity is unmaking the stability that enabled its
emergence. But we are deeply worried that current
responses to this challeng are focused on market-driven
solutions and thus have the potential to further endanger
our collective commons. Today public debate is polarized.
On one hand we are confronted with the immobilizing
effects of knowing "the facts" about climate change. On
the other we see a powerful will to ignorance and the
effects of a pernicious collaboration between climate
change skeptics and industry stakeholders. Clearly, to us,
the current crisis calls for new ways of thinking and
producing knowledge. Our collective inclination has been
to go on in an experimental and exploratory mode, in which
we refuse to foreclose on options or jump too quickly to
"solutions." In this spirit we feel the need to
acknowledge the tragedy of anthropogenic climate change.
It is important to tap into the emotional richness of
grief about extinction and loss without getting stuck on
the "blame game." Our research must allow for the
expression of grief and mourning for what has been and is
daily being lost. But it is important to adopt a
reparative rather than a purely critical stance toward
knowing. Might it be possible to welcome the pain of
"knowing" if it led to different ways of working with non-
human others, recognizing a confluence of desire across
the human/non-human divide and the vital rhythms that
animate the world? We think that we can work against
singular and global representations of "the problem" in
the face of which any small, multiple, place-based action
is rendered hopeless. We can choose to read for difference
rather than dominance; think connectivity rather than
hyper-separation; look for multiplicity -- multiple
climate changes, multiple ways of living with earth
others. We can find ways forward in what is already being
done in the here and now; attend to the performative
effects of any analysis; tell stories in a hopeful and
open way -- allowing for the possibility that life is
dormant rather than dead. We can use our critical
capacities to recover our rich traditions of counter-
culture and theorize them outside the mainstream/
alternative binary. All these ways of thinking and
researching give rise to new strategies for going forward.
