Four new sections of INTO THE TIME HORIZON open today: Interspecies Relationships, Circularity, Strange Weather, and The Sixth Extinction. Sharing some pictures of Interspecies Relationships here.
This section showcases works that invite us to reflect on our interdependence on a multitude of animate and inanimate matter, including galaxies, insects, cephalopods, beavers, minerals, plant life, and forests. Posthuman philosophers, such as Rosi Braidotti, have been warning for decades about the perils of privileging human thought over other life forms. These theorists argue that the superimposition of reason, humanism, and the methodologies they have spawned has created the crises we struggle to overcome today, and that we have lost the capacity and ability to control their outcomes (AI, fossil fuel production, consumption, excess, waste, commerce, warfare, etc.). Instead, posthumanists propose the advancement of biodiversity, circularity, degrowth, resilience, nature, regeneration, inclusivity, and mutual coexistence. This necessarily requires displacing anthropocentrism as the ultimate paradigm against which all other concepts are weighed.
