Zusammenfassung:
Fear of a Dead White Planet is a collaboratively written project meant to assess the current terms of planetary and environmental thinking in the university. Grounded in concepts of land and place and understandings of deep structural violences via industrialization, and considering the role of study in the university, this book analyzes the current pull to planetary thinking as well as related subjects such as the Anthropocene and geoengineering. Through its experimental chapters, the authors provoke readers to pay special attention to perturbations that draw out influences, structural relations, uncertainties, unseen forces, and assumptions. Centered on what the authors call "terraformatics," or the analysis of interconnected processes that inform being and knowing, Fear of a Dead White Planet reconsiders the contemporary problem of the environment as an effect of white supremacy and offers proposals for rethinking how to study collective conditions"--
