E-book Pacific Climate Cultures : Living Climate Change in Oceania
Cultural concepts and ecologies are vitally inseparable, mutually constitutive and made living through each other. Pacific philosophies understand oceans, lands and skies as agentive, malleable living forms participating in, constitutive of and responsive to cosmological and kinship-based relations capable of encompassing the perspectives of fish and the relational qualities of people. In this vein, the Prelude diagnoses climate change as the consequential, unbalanced, manifestation of human “arrogance and greed.” In this vein too, the Afterword depicts the “inter locks” of vital energetics to convey the reciprocal mutuality of living climate change. What we coin here as “living climate change” in Oceania then, entails rather more than simply living with climate change - as though it were merely a matter of making an accommodation with a troubling, separate and adjacent realm or some distinct natural domain only legible to science and a technocratic approach.
