Reworlding
This forum showcases emerging approaches, new ideas, and promising pathways that draw attention to the diverse, interdisciplinary, and impactful work of global scholars to advance dialogue in the field on how we can best contribute to climate action. --- Robert Soden, Vishal Sharma, Matthew Louis Mauriello, and Nicola J. Bidwell, Editors
Zoöp Futures
This paper describes the Zoöp model, an organisational framework fostering regenerative relationships between humans and nonhumans. With escalating ecological crises, traditional anthropocentric decision-making requires a shift towards equitable, multispecies collaboration. The Zoöp model translates more-than-human theories into practical organisational strategies for sustainable futures. Using the Het Nieuwe Instituut (HNI) as a case study, this…
Enacting Entanglement
What happens when we try to enact theory in our practices of collaboration? The CreaTures project spent three years exploring the challenges of conceptualising and enacting entanglement in using creative practice to try and change worldviews towards understandings of interdependence. Acknowledging the backdrop to our work as pressing ecological breakdown, we sought to practice the cultural change we hoped to inspire. We discuss what we learnt abo…
Dimensions for evaluating how art and creative practice stimulate societal transformations
There is an urgent need to engage with deep leverage points in sustainability transformations—fundamental myths, paradigms, and systems of meaning making—to open new collective horizons for action. Art and creative practice are uniquely suited to help facilitate change in these deeper transformational leverage points. However, understandings of how creative practices contribute to sustainability transformations are lacking in practice and fragmen…
In Dialogue with the More-than-Human
I am talking about practices that give people the chance to feel differently. Not only the chance to feel different, but to feel relationships that are not ubiquitously available at present. I am calling this affective prefiguration . \n \n We have seen the idea of prefiguration enter design, related to prefigurative politics. Carl DiSalvo championed it (2016) and there is inspiring work now from, for instance, Mariam Asad and Alix Gerber. Prefig…
Ecologies of subversion
Climate care is a journey to remake cultures, find justices and regenerate habitats; there is no final destination. \n \n*Subversion is needed to counter how (technological) initiatives become yet further means of exploiting for profit. \n \n*Creative practitioners and activists are forming the ecologies of subversion that generate new points of departure
(Un) scaling computing
The tech industry thinks in terms of scale. Growing, expanding the user base, and developing smaller hardware to cram more processing power into smaller spaces are rarely questioned drivers of digital innovation. Companies with revenue larger than most countries seek planetary monopolies. Mainstream narratives associate big data with useful or good data. But is big always good? Global commercial platforms, such as Airbnb and Uber, are regarded as…

Collaborative speculation
How do people become conversant with futures-in-the-making? This paper explores speculative design from the position that futures have agency in the present and therefore forms of speculation – as well as futures - need to be inclusive. Regarding this as a democratic right throws attention on engagement processes, noting that speculation is often centred on the designer’s interests rather than seeding appropriation by publics. I argue that situat…

Collaboration, creativity, conflict and chaos
How do the social dynamics within interdisciplinary research teams shape sustainability research? This paper presents a case study of interdisciplinary research projects at the University of Sussex, as part of a programme aimed at encouraging collaborative work to address intersections between the Sustainability Development Goals. Using data gathered during a series of participatory workshops at the start and end of the projects, combined with no…

Platforms, Scales and Networks
The “sharing economy” has promised more sustainable use of the world’s finite resources, exploiting latency and promoting renting rather than ownership through digital networks. But do the digital brokers that use networks at global scale offer the same care for the planet as more traditional forms of sharing? We contrast the sustainability of managing idle capacity with the merits of collective local agency bred by caring-based sharing in a loca…
Design and Social Innovation at the Margins
Design has become a global activity dominated by one set of cultural interests to produce a consistency of practice. This essay uses an experience of design for social innovation in northern Finland, inspired by land and place, to speculate upon the dimensions across which plurality in designing could be embraced in an increasingly globalized world. Informed by discussions while helping to run the Design and Social Innovation in Asia-Pacific even…

Cultivating sustainable developments with makerspaces | Cultivando desenvolvimento sustentável com espaços maker
In October 2015, we convened a workshop for 80 researchers and practitioners involved in makerspaces in Europe. Our aim was to explore how makerspaces can help cultivate sustainable developments. This paper reports workshop discussion and ideas on the topic, and illustrates interest in the deliberative potential for this kind of ‘citizen lab’. Interestingly, given the emphasis on tools and making practices in many makerspaces, discussion at our m…
Special Topic
In the last hours of CHI 2017, a group of researchers from universities and businesses across the northern hemisphere sat down together to consider “Taking Action in a Changing World”. \n \nThe title of the special interest group (SIG) is significant; it speaks of having an impact, of the politics on which we wish to have an impact, and also the dynamism of the structures and systems around us. There is no special mention of technology. In other …

Moral and Political Reasoning in Environmental Practice
What role can philosophers play in helping to resolve the moral and political dilemmas faced by environmental activists and policymakers? Moving away from environmental philosophy's usual focus on abstractions such as nonanthropocentrism and the intrinsic value of nature, this book focuses on environmental practice as the starting point for theoretical reflection. Philosophical thinking, it argues, need not be divided into the academic and the pr…

The Politics of Ecological Restoration
Discussion of ecological restoration in environmental ethics has tended to center on issues about the nature and character of the values that may or may not be produced by restored landscapes. In this paper we shift the philosophical discussion to another set of issues: the social and political context in which restorations are performed. We offer first an evaluation of the political issues in the practice of restoration in general and second an …
Conversation as Publishing
The development of the World Wide Web (Web) has allowed publishers to move away from traditional newspaper models of news presentation to introduce more flexible products that offer both an information source and more scope for interaction with and between users. The opportunity to involve users more in the creation of news content has been exploited in various ways: for instance as discussion forums or as visitor responses to particular question…
What is an ecological identity
Is environmentalism a form of identity politics like feminism, race‐based politics, and other political orientations at the core of the new social movements? It is argued that it can be, but that this claim to political identity has so far only been clearly available to a narrow set of environmentalists, notably deep ecologists and essentialist ecofeminists. But if it is plausible that broader forms of environmentalism can represent a political i…

On the Irreplaceability of Place
I examine a puzzle concerning the role of humans in the appreciation of place that arises in Christoph Rehmann-Sutter's paper in this volume, specifically the problem of the irreplaceability of place. If places are designated as valuable in part because they are irreplaceable, and if any human can appreciate any place, then how can humans ever be part of a place if they are ultimately substitutable as agents who appreciate places? After identifyi…

Technology and the Good Life?
Can we use technology in the pursuit of a good life, or are we doomed to having our lives organized and our priorities set by the demands of machines and systems? How can philosophy help us to make technology a servant rather than a master? Technology and the Good Life? uses a careful collective analysis of Albert Borgmann's controversial and influential ideas as a jumping-off point from which to address questions such as these about the role and…

Should Environmental Quality be a Publicly Provided Good
En matiere de pollution de l'environnement, la plupart des pays industrialises ont adopte un systeme de normes d'emissions auxquel doivent se soumettre les industries. Aux Etats-Unis, la politique en matiere de pollution est regulee selon un modele economique neoclassique calcule en termes de couts et de benefices pour les entreprises. Ce systeme est regule notamment par un marche de droits a polluer transferables d'une entreprise a l'autre. Meme…

Environmental Values
We live in a world confronted by mounting environmental problems; increasing global deforestation and desertification, loss of species diversity, pollution and global warming. In everyday life people mourn the loss of valued landscapes and urban spaces. Underlying these problems are conflicting priorities and values. Yet dominant approaches to policy-making seem ill-equipped to capture the various ways in which the environment matters to us. Envi…
