Beyond many American City cores exist a series of land uses characterized by waste, former infrastructures, homogeneous development, and ecologically entangled spaces of the American economy and productivity. This is reflected in all forms of industry, including agricultural land uses are all rooted in the same industrial methodology that leads to homogenized land-uses. In the race for convenience and profit, these spaces are created to limit risk, increase predictability and economic expectancy. The scale of this risk aversion and flows of capital are referred to by architectural theorist Keller Easterling as “infrastructure space”. Infrastructure space is described as the buildings and processes created for the extraction of capital and strictly defined by priority of networked financed systems, governance, and territory. These efficiencies are rooted and perpetuated by the 19th century ideas of Enlightenment progressivism, which emphasize linearity and efficiency in pursuit of a singular goal. These ideological frameworks, coupled with modern capitalism lend themselves to the current epoch of the Anthropocene, marked most distinctly by the landscapes suggested above and the long distance destruction of landscapes and ecologies. However, anthropologist Anna Tsing, author of The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins, refuses to look away from these issues, or to reduce the earth’s urgency to an abstract system of causative destruction rooted in undifferentiated capitalism. Instead, she argues that precarity—in opposition to the supposed promises of Modern Progress— characterizes the lives and deaths of all earthly creatures. She offers that this precarity offers room for intervention in the unplanned, as part of a larger framework for the “arts of living on a damaged planet,” and as a necessary “skill for living in ruins.” Tsing’s thinking coupled with Donna Haraway’s notions of “speculative fabulation” for inventing in sensitive ways by re-unfolding in order to re-play with what has been sidelined in history, a whole series of possibilities that are still active today in the margins of society, to transform things and one of those things is “radical kinship” offer directions for how to intervene. To intervene in the ruins of agricultural and infrastructural landscapes suggests going beyond the strategies and methodologies of recent architectural thinking. By emphasizing kinship, assemblage relationships within contaminated diversity,“infrastructural principle”, the homogeneous and ruinistic landscapes might be alternatively re-thought

This book makes a case for rights and responsibilities to be expressed through a cosmopolitan praxis based on developing strong cosmopolitan approaches. This developed approach respects a form of cultural or national identity that is not at the expense of others, the environment or future generations. This new stoicism is based on a sense of responsibility for others. The book also explores systemic ethical praxis in response to the vexed challenge of how to bridge the false dualism of pitting the environment versus profit. Systemic Ethics and Non-Anthropocentric Stewardship: Implications for Transdisciplinarity and Cosmopolitan Politics is organized into seven chapters. The book begins by providing readers with an understanding of the way in which cosmopolitanism (like all social concepts) is shaped by diverse definitions and applied differently by theorists and those that engage in transformative praxis. It also develops an argument based on considering the empirical consequences of social, economic and environmental decisions on the quality of life of current and future generations. The next chapter critiques anthropocentricism and explores how policy makers develop agreements on what constitutes and supports the wellbeing of the planet rather than the GDP. The book then explores the options for social democracy and ways to enhance an ethical approach to post national governance and argues for participatory democracy and governance to respond to diversity within and across national boundaries. The following chapters reflect upon the author’s own participatory action research process and examines the transformations that can arise through critical systemic thinking and practice. Next the book makes the case for systemic ethical governance that is able to manage consumption, before concluding with a final look at the book’s approach, based on critical heuristics.

Entangled Territorialities offers vivid ethnographic examples of how Indigenous lands in Australia and Canada are tangled with governments, industries, and mainstream society. Most of the entangled lands to which Indigenous peoples are connected have been physically transformed and their ecological balance destroyed. Each chapter in this volume refers to specific circumstances in which Indigenous peoples have become intertwined with non-Aboriginal institutions and projects including the construction of hydroelectric dams and open mining pits. Long after the agents of resource extraction have abandoned these lands to their fate, Indigenous peoples will continue to claim ancestral ties and responsibilities that cannot be understood by agents of capitalism. The editors and contributors to this volume develop an anthropology of entanglement to further examine the larger debates about the vexed relationships between settlers and indigenous peoples over the meaning, knowledge, and management of traditionally-owned lands.

A groundbreaking essay collection that pursues the rise of geoculture as an essential framework for arts criticism, The Planetary Turn shows how the planet—as a territory, a sociopolitical arena, a natural space of interaction for all earthly life, and an artistic theme—is increasingly the conceptual and political dimension in which twenty-first-century writers and artists picture themselves and their work. In an introduction that comprehensively defines the planetary model of art, culture, and cultural-aesthetic interpretation, the editors explain how the living planet is emerging as distinct from older concepts of globalization, cosmopolitanism, and environmentalism and is becoming a new ground for exciting work in contemporary literature, visual and media arts, and social humanities. Written by internationally recognized scholars, the twelve essays that follow illustrate the unfolding of a new vision of potential planetary community that retools earlier models based on the nation-state or political “blocs” and reimagines cultural, political, aesthetic, and ethical relationships for the post–Cold War era.
