Composing climate change as a matter of everyday living: Thinking against displacement
In light of societal pushback against climate policy implementations and in response to the call for imaginations of (alternative) futures beyond the cold numbers of climate projections, this article considers how climate change urges us to rethink our relationship with the future. Drawing on feminist perspectives on living in times of climate intrusion, we theoretically explore a contrast between attempts to master futures and attention for futu…
Breathable Futures: Breath as Feminist and Decolonial Imagination in Heating and Polluted Worlds
In feminist, decolonial, and ecological work, many pathways towards what are claimed to be 'sustainable' futures are criticised for their status quo-reiterating, ecologically devastating, effects (Kolbert, 2021). To struggle free from these rather claustrophobic climate futures, this article conceptualises breathable futures as a way out of current and pressing atmospheric troubles (e.g., climate change, air(borne) pollution, 'silent' skies (Cars…
Sensing and making sense of climate change in a Western European urban setting: Bodily exposures, uncertain epistemologies, and climatic care practices
This article probes the crucial role of the body, embodiment, and sensation in the way people encounter large-scale processes of climate change in the city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Exploring how urban denizens in one of the more temperate regions of the world come to know, speak, and conceptualize climate change in their everyday life, we aim to revitalize a conceptual engagement with embodiment and sensation as meaningful modes of knowing …

The central suggestion to rethink ‘intervention as intoxication’ resonates throughout all articles, highlighting the embodied, entangled, and aesthetic dimensions of intervention. So…
