Progress, Technology, Nature: Life and Death in the Valley of Mexico
In the “history of the Aztecs” scholarship, recent debates reveal how work seemingly aligned with anti-colonial and anti-imperialist objectives can nevertheless reproduce the view that western science and technology are the primary means of improving human life. This corresponds to a type of performative postcolonial analysis that remains caught up in the power dynamics it seeks to dismantle. The essay’s goal is to show that in order to understan…
How many worlds are there? One, but also many: Decolonial theory, comparison, ‘reality
Contemporary political theory (CPT) has approached questions of plurality and diversity by drawing rather implicitly on anthropological accounts of difference. This was the case with the ‘cultural turn’, which significantly shaped theories of multiculturalism. Similarly, the current ‘ontological turn’ is gaining influence and leaving a marked impact on CPT. I examine the recent turn and assess both the possibilities it offers and the challenges i…
Pluralist Politics, Relational Worlds: Vulnerability and Care of the Earth
This book aims to overcome the disconnect between human and ecological concerns in political theory and political philosophy
Ecologizing democratic theory: Agency, representation, animacy
What vulnerability entails: Sustainability and the limits of political pluralism
To think and act ecologically: The environment, human animality, nature
Much work in care ethics and disability studies is concerned with the flourishing of human animals as an independent species. As a result, it focuses on how the built environments and the social structures that produce them restrict and exclude us. This paper addresses this problem and provides tentative first steps towards sketching an account of ethics that is structured around the interdependent nature of human and more than human life. I argu…
Nature's Relations: Ontology, Vulnerability, Agency
Political theory and philosophy need to widen their view of the space in which what matters politically takes place, and I suggest that integrating the conditions of sustainability of all affected—that is, all participants in nature's relations—is a necessary first step in this direction. New materialists and posthumanists have challenged how nature and politics have traditionally been construed. While acknowledging the significance of their cont…
