Earthlings
Amid environmental catastrophe, it is vital to recall what unites all forms of life. We share characteristics and genetic material extending back billions of years. More than that, we all-from humans to plants to bacteria-share a planet. We are all Earthlings.Adrian Parr calls on us to understand ourselves as existing with and among the many forms of Earthling life. She argues that human survival requires us to recognize our interdependent relati…
Conversations on Violence
The Gender-Climate-Injustice Nexus
This chapter offers an account of central issues and themes in feminist critiques of the institutionalized system of gender-climate-injustice operating across the social, cultural, economic, political, and environmental spheres. In its consideration of the gendered impacts of climate change, it discusses the forces of violence, injustice, and inequity, which are at the core of the gender-climate-injustice nexus. It reflects on the meaning and pos…
Capital, Environmental Degradation, and Economic Externalization
Neo-liberal principles of individualism, privatization, consumption, and unconstrained choice underpinning advanced capitalism are rapidly becoming the predominant strategy used in response to widespread environmental degradation and climate change. This essay describes and analyzes capital’s production of negative environmental externalities. Despite a slew of environmental legislation passed by governments the world over—a response to the deman…
The Wrath of Capital
Urban Debt, Neoliberalism and the Politics of the Commons
The rural/metropolitan/wilderness hybrid central to urban shrinkage directly challenges a commonly held belief that a city consists of a dense concentration of people living in a limited geographical area, one where the primary means of production is non-agricultural. In addition, the urban condition of shrinkage tests the dominant current of growth management that has guided urban design, development, and land use. In this essay we will explore …
Hijacking Sustainability
How the sustainability movement has been co-opted: from ecobranding by Wal-Mart to the "greening" of the American military.The idea of "sustainability" has gone mainstream. Thanks to Prius-driving movie stars, it's even hip. What began as a grassroots movement to promote responsible development has become a bullet point in corporate ecobranding strategies. In Hijacking Sustainability, Adrian Parr describes how this has happened: how the goals of …
Deleuze and Memorial CultureDesire, Singular Memory and the Politics of Trauma

Deleuze and the Contemporary World
The Art of Privacy
A certain type of subjectivity, which I would call capitalistic, is overtaking the whole planet: an equalized subjectivity, with standardized fantasies and massive consumption of infantilizing reassurances. It causes every kind of passivity, degeneration of democratic values, collective racist impulses ... Today it is massively secreted by the media, community centers and alleged cultural institutions. It not only involves conscious ideological f…
The Deterritorializing Language of Child Detainees
The policy of mandatory detention for all asylum seekers who arrive in Australia without a valid visa regardless of age, religion, physical or mental health is uncompromising to say the least. The detention centres are harsh and alienating environments, where free and open communication is severely restricted, and in this context, children, in particular, suffer from a double silencing - unable to speak English, traumatized and often too young to…
