DOES THE EARTH CARE? - MICK SMITH JASON YOUNG T...

Rethinking our relationship with Earth in a time of environmental emergency The world is
changing. Progress no longer has a future but any earlier sense of Earth as providential” seems
of merely historical interest. The apparent absence of Earthly solicitude is a symptom and
consequence of these successive Western modes of engagement with the Earth  now exemplified in
global capitalism. Within these constructs  Earth can only appear as constitutively indifferent
to the fate of all its inhabitants. The provisional ecology” outlined in Does the Earth
Care?—drawing on a variety of literary and philosophical sources from Richard Jefferies and
Robert Macfarlane to Martin Heidegger and Gaia theory—fundamentally challenges that assumption
while offering an Earthly alternative to either cold realism or alienated despair in the face
of impending ecological disaster. Forerunners is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough
digital works. Written between fresh ideas and finished books  Forerunners draws on scholarly
work initiated in notable blogs  social media  conference plenaries  journal articles  and the
synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking 
change  and speculation take place in scholarship.
