Description

Statement by Isabelle Stengers (philosopher)
Isabelle Stengers suggests making a terrestrial commitment, following a term framed by Donna Haraway, which does not aim for a political ideal that should »drive« humans. Rather, it involves what can be called infra-politics, as in infrastructure. The interdependent relationships between the living are the infrastructure that made possible the multiple ways of being alive and acting on Earth. It is about participating in the regeneration of these relationships sterilized by modernity, about activating their capacity to nourish the struggles and experimentations, without which there will be no future worthy of that name. Isabelle Stengers on What’s urgent (French)
