Art and Climate Justice Action: Materializing the AnthropoceneThis talk asks what artistic approaches and sensibilities can offer to debate surrounding Anthropogenic climate change, attending to the difference between art on ecology and art that is formed ecologically. As well as giving theoretical and art historical background for this distinction, Loveless speculates on how the politics of form (what a form does in the world) intersects with ecological ethics when the use of fossil fuel resources (as, in Olafur Eliasson’s 2015 Ice Watch, those needed to ship 300 pound blocks of glacier ice to the center of Paris) are central to the production of artworks addressing ecology, global warming, and climate debt. Offering nuanced reflection on such works, this talk highlights the importance of a multi-sensorial and multi-species understanding of ecological ethics that takes the question of aesthetic form seriously in the context of art on and in the Anthropocene.

(Re)framing Big Data—S2E1For our first episode in Series II, we are excited to share a Read & Record of the 2018 article “(Re)framing Big Data: Activating Situated Knowledges and a Feminist Ethics of Care in Social Media Research” by Dr. Mary Elizabeth Luka & Dr. Mélanie Millette.
In this article, the authors seek to problematize assumptions and trends in “big data” digital methods and research through an intersectional feminist lens. Articulating their critique through a feminist ethics of care, the article poses a number of practical questions about practices of care in social media research, pointing toward future research directions.

Against Purity—S1E2This episode features a ‘Read + Record’ of the introductory chapter to Alexis Shotwell’s 2016 book “Against Purity: Living Ethically in Compromised Times”. In Against Purity, Alexis Shotwell proposes a powerful new conception of social movements as custodians for the past and incubators for liberated futures. Against Purity undertakes an analysis that draws on theories of race, disability, gender, and animal ethics as a foundation for an innovative approach to the politics and ethics of responding to systemic problems today.

Amateur Video & The Challenge for Change — S2E2In this episode we will be reading “Amateur video and the challenge for change” by Dr. Janine Marchessault. This text is included in the collection “Challenge for Change”, edited by Thomas Waugh, Michael Brenda Baker & Ezra Winton and published by McGill-Queen’s University Press in 2016.
The collection offers an examination of the radical politics and cinema of the legendary documentary film program — Challenge for Change/Société nouvelle — which ran from 1967 to 1980 and produced films in both French and English, challenging audiences, subjects, and filmmakers to confront sexism, poverty, and marginalization in the hope of developing community as well as political awareness and empowerment. Here, Dr. Marchessault returns to an essay she wrote in the early 1990s, in order to offer a critical perspective on one aspect of Challenge for Change, namely, the way the program underplayed structures of power by emphasizing the immediate and seemingly unmediated nature of communication forms that were being animated by the NFB filmmakers involved in the project at the time.

Chainsaw: Theory and Practice—S2E5This Read & Record episode features a performative readings of the zine “Chainsaw: Theory and Practice” by Catherine Lavoie-Marcus in complicity with non-disciplinary artist Johanna Householder.
Originally published in 2017 as part of the Viva! Art Action Festival in Montreal and inspired by Householder’s performance work, the zine presents a conversation on the counter-usage of the chainsaw as an undetermined method for slicing the master’s home, bad habits, bullshit, the historical framework, pride, and ‘the real’. This reading is performed by Kinuk, the artistic collaborative duo of Ursula Johnson and Angella Parsons.

Disposition, in Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space — S3E6In this episode we read Chapter 2 from Keller Easterling’s 2014 book Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space, published by Verso Books.
In this book, Easterling offers an understanding of infrastructure as the hidden substrate — or binding medium — through which standards and ideas are shared between bodies. For Easterling, then, the notion of infrastructure as Extrastatecraft refers to the ways in which contemporary infrastructure spaces are manipulated and controlled in order to exert power and orchestrate activities that can remain unstated but are nevertheless consequential to many.

Energy Imaginaries—S1E5In this episode we will be reading Sheena Wilson’s 2018 article titled “Energy Imaginaries: Feminist and Decolonial Futures,” which can be found in Materialism and the Critique of Energy, edited by Brent Ryan Bellamy and Jeff Diamanti.
Materialism and the Critique of Energy brings together twenty-one theorists working in a range of traditions to conceive of a twenty-first century materialism critical of the economic, political, cultural, and environmental impacts of large-scale energy development on collective life. In Wilson’s contribution, she outlines the current barriers to energy transition and the need to expand and deepen energy literacy in order to help us collaboratively imagine and collectively move toward socially just—decolonized and feminist—energy futures.

In Catastrophic Times—S1E4This Read & Record episode features a selection of chapters from Isabelle Stengers’ 2015 book In catastrophic times: Resisting the coming barbarism. The book was translated from French to English by Andrew Goffey and published by Open Humanities Press in 2015.
In Catastrophic Times offers a welcome intervention into the current state of global political impasses and ecological catastrophe by outlining the cumulative impacts of global warming as a series of crises that will not “pass” before everything goes back to “normal.” As Stengers outlines through various examples—pollution, the poison of pesticides, the exhaustion of natural resources, falling water tables, growing social inequalities—the possibility of a global climate crisis is now upon us, in turn requiring new strategies and tactical experiments that are capable of seizing environmental issues and sociotechnical problems as political questions in order to resist the ‘coming barbarism’.

Indigenizing the Anthropocene—S1E1This Read & Record episode features Zoe Todd’s 2015 article “Indigenizing the Anthropocene”. This article is featured in Art in the Anthropocene: Encounters Among Aesthetics, Politics, Environment and Epistemology, edited by Heather Davis and Etienne Turpin and published through Open Humanities Press in 2015.
In Todd’s article, she insists on an ethical relationality with Indigenous Peoples and philosophies as both a necessary starting point for processes of decolonization, and as a move away from the conditions that created the Anthropocene, including the notion of the Anthropocene itself.

Indigenous Women and Knowledge—S1E3In this episode we will be reading “Indigenous Women and Knowledge” by Isabel Altamirano-Jimenez & Nathalie Kermoal. This text is featured in Living on the Land. Indigenous Women’s Understanding of Place, also edited by Isabel Altamirano-Jimenez & Nathalie Kermoal and published through Athabasca University Press in 2016.
Living on the Land examines how patriarchy, gender, and colonialism have shaped the experiences of Indigenous women as both knowers and producers of knowledge. From a variety of methodological perspectives, contributors to the volume explore the nature and scope of Indigenous women’s knowledge, its rootedness in relationships both human and spiritual, and its inseparability from land and landscape.

Infrastructure, Infra-politics — S3E1For our first episode in Series III, we are excited to share an excerpt from Angela Mitropoulos’ 2012 book Contract & Contagion: From Biopolitics to Oikonomia titled “Infrastructure, Infra-politics.”
In this short excerpt, Mitropoulos positions infrastructure as an infra-political question of how affinities take shape, or not. Or as she puts it, “[i]nfrastructure is the answer given to the question of movement and relation”.

Infrastructures of Empire and Resistance — S3E2In this episode we read Deborah Cowen’s 2017 article “Infrastructures of Empire and Resistance”, which was published on January 25, 2017 on the Verso Books Blog.
In this article, Cowen explores the issue of infrastructure by focusing on how relations of power and of force rely on socio-technical systems, including infrastructural systems, which are themselves increasingly the object of struggle.

Materializing Climate Change—S2E6In this episode we will be reading Dr. Nicole Shukin’s 2015 article “Materializing Climate Change: Image of Exposure, States of Exception”.
This text is included in the edited collection Material Cultures in Canada, edited by Thomas Allen and Jennifier Blair, and published by Wilfrid Laurier University Press in 2015. Material Cultures in Canada presents the vibrant and diverse field of material culture studies in Canadian literary, artistic, and political contexts today. This collection features sixteen essays by leading scholars in Canada, each of whom examines a different object of study, including the beaver, geraniums, comics, water, a musical playlist, and the human body. In Dr. Shukin’s contribution, she draws attention to photographic and filmic productions, or what she terms “cultural barometers”, that are designed to produce moving, material images of the historical crisis of climate change.

On Petrocultures: Or, Why We Need to Understand Oil to Understand Everything Else—S1E0For our first episode, we produced a Read & Record of the introduction to the recently published (2018) book Petrocultures: Oil, Politics, Culture, edited by Sheena Wilson, Adam Carlson, and Imre Szeman.
Petrocultures provides much-needed research that addresses head-on the conceptual, philosophical, and theoretical challenges that emerge from a sustained examination of the social and cultural significance of energy in various forms—oil being only the most prevalent form at present.
