Living Earth Community: Multiple Ways of Being and Knowing (Cambridge, UK: Open Book Publishers, 2020) M Living Earth Community ICKEY Multiple Ways of Being and Knowing , T , EDITED BY SAM MICKEY, MARY EVELYN TUCKER, AND JOHN GRIM UCKER If you are looking for reasons to believe that humans can fi nd a way through the unfolding catastrophe, this is your book, your hope, your answer. , , — Kathleen Dean Moore, author of Great Tide Rising and Wild Comfort AND Why are we in such a predicament? The contributors to this volume trace our discontents to a kind of G cultural amnesia. In our rush to progress, we have forgott en deeper sources of wisdom, and with it the calm awareness that humankind is a part of the larger community of life in the unfolding cosmic story. RIM We’ve been looking for meaning, as it were, in all the wrong places. From varied perspecti ves, the ( essays here shed the bright light of remembrance and reverence. EDS — David Orr, author of Hope is an Imperati ve, Down to the Wire, and Ecological Literacy ) L ) This book is a celebra� on of the diversity of ways in which humans can relate to the world around them, and an invita� on to its readers to partake in planetary coexistence. Innova� ve, informa� ve, and highly accessible, this interdisciplinary anthology brings together scholars and educators across the sciences and humani� es, in a collabora� ve eff ort to illuminate the diff erent ways of being in the world and the diff erent kinds of knowledge they entail – from the ecological knowledge of indigenous communi� es, to the scien� fi c knowledge of a biologist, and the embodied knowledge communicated through storytelling. IVING This anthology examines the interplay between Nature and Culture in the se� ng of our current age of ecological crisis, stressing the importance of addressing these ecological crises occurring around the planet through mul� ple perspec� ves. These perspec� ves are E exemplifi ed through diverse case studies – from the poli� cal and ethical implica� ons of ARTH thinking with forests, to the capacity of storytelling to mo� vate ac� on, to the worldview of the Indigenous Okanogan community in Bri� sh Columbia. C Living Earth Community is essen� al reading not only for researchers and students, but OMMUNITY for anyone interested in the ways humans interact with the community of life on Earth, especially during this current period of environmental emergency.

As the editors of this book, we want to acknowledge the kinship, nourishment, shelter, companionship, and inspiration provided by the living Earth community. Without that figurative and quite literal support, this book would not exist. Along with gratitude for our planetary home, we gratefully acknowledge all of those who have been part of this book project directly or indirectly. Many thanks are owed to each of the contributors for their thoughtful engagement in this collaborative project. It was a privilege and a pleasure to facilitate the gathering of such profoundly thoughtful, sensitive, and visionary people in person, and to incorporate their contributions into a single volume. This book is based on a unique workshop that took place at the Oak Spring Garden Foundation in Virginia in October of 2018. In this beautiful setting, between delicious meals and walks on the grounds, the participants shared their creative ideas in a synergy that was deeply felt by all. From that beautiful Virginia land, cultivated for so many decades by Bunny and Paul Mellon, these ideas took different shapes and forms in lively dialogue. Old friendships were renewed, and new friendships were formed. The land wove us into itself and held us in a place of awe and wonder. The workshop was organized by Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim along with Peter Crane, their former Dean at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and the current President of the Oak Spring Garden Foundation. As a paleobotanist, Peter has done remarkable work uncovering flower, plant, and seed fossils embedded in deep time. We were assisted at Oak Spring by Peter’s wife, Elinor Crane, and especially by the dedicated preparation of program officer, Marguerite Hardin. Max Smith, the head of communications, filmed the interviews that we are posting along with this book. The staff at Oak Spring deserve our gratitude for exquisite meals and care in so many ways.

  • Tourists As Post-Witnesses in Documentary Film: Sergei Loznitsa's
    Tourists as post-witnesses in documentary film: Sergei Loznitsa’s Austerlitz (2016) and Rex Bloomstein’s KZ (2006) OÑATI SOCIO-LEGAL SERIES VOLUME 10, ISSUE 3 (2020), 642-663: PRACTICES OF MEMORIALIZATION AND THE PROCESS OF SOCIAL RECONSTRUCTION DOI LINK: HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.35295/OSLS.IISL/0000-0000-0000-1045 RECEIVED 03 SEPTEMBER 2018, ACCEPTED 26 FEBRUARY 2019 DAVID CLARKE∗ Abstract This article compares two documentary films that address an apparent crisis of post-witnessing at memorials that commemorate the victims of National Socialism. In the context of contemporary debates about appropriate behaviour for tourists at sites of “dark” or “difficult” heritage, Sergei Loznitsa’s Austerlitz (2016) and Rex Bloomstein’s KZ (2006) take very different approaches to observing the act of visiting concentration camp memorials. Whereas Loznitsa adopts an observational documentary mode, constructing a cultural hierarchy between the touristic observer and the cinematic observer at memorials in Germany, Bloomstein’s film uses a participatory mode to prompt the viewer to consider the complexities of the affective-discursive practice of tourists engaging with the suffering of victims at the Mauthausen memorial in Austria. The article argues that Bloomstein’s decision to adopt a participatory approach is more productive in allowing us to think about the significance of responses to victims’ suffering at such sites. Key words Documentary; dark tourism; post-witnessing; Sergei Loznitsa; Rex Bloomstein; National Socialism Resumen Este artículo compara dos documentales que giran en torno a una aparente crisis del post-testimonio en monumentos a las víctimas del nacionalsocialismo. En el contexto del debate actual sobre cómo deben comportarse los turistas en lugares de herencia “oscura” o “difícil”, Austerlitz (2016), de Sergei Loznitsa, y KZ (2006), de Rex Bloomstein, observan de forma muy diferente el acto de visitar antiguos campos de concentración.

  • Hygiene, the Flow of Light, Air, Water and Waste Common Definitions Of
    253 Part Two: Hygiene, The Flow of Light, Air, Water and Waste Common definitions of hygiene connect practices of cleanliness with prevention of disease. In both English and French, the word links cleanliness and health in a normative way. This has three major consequences. First, hygiene does not only concern how individuals can be clean and healthy. It is also profoundly social or collective, concerned to preserve the living conditions of the population at large and steer social relations. Second, hygiene is heavily value-laden. Far from objective measures of what practices help prevent disease, hygienic rules and norms are bound up with aesthetics and morals. What is unclean is often considered profane, undesirable, ugly, dangerous, barbaric, backward, subhuman, etc.1 Third, since the Enlightenment, hygiene has been bound up with progress, modernization and reform. Like a society's level of technological development, its degree of conformity to “modern” principles of hygiene has become a common measure of civilization.2 Hygiene played a crucial role in the civilizing mission of imperialists, and remains central in the post-colonial field of 'development.' As a result of these moral, aesthetic, and political entanglements, hygienic principles can be (and often are) used to justify actions that go far beyond keeping clean and preventing disease. 1 Mary Douglas, Purity and Danger: an Analysis of Concepts of Pollution and Taboo 2nd Ed.
