Includes bibliographical references (p. [220]-237) and index. The earth in physical and social thought -- Ways to make a world: from relational materiality to radical asymmetry -- After the Tsunami: vulnerability on a volatile planet -- Quaking: the 1755 Lisbon disaster and the modern subject -- Justice and abrupt climate change -- Hurricane Katrina and the origins of community -- 'Burning for the other': colonial encounters on a planet of fire -- Extending hospitality: global mobility and journeys in deep time. The relationship between social thought and earth processes is in its infancy. This book offers to make good the defect by exploring how human induced changes impact upon planetary processes. |
