Miljøbeskyttelse: ideologi

The book documents the German climate movement in an era in which the global climate crisis is an ever-present topic. It tells the story of people who put their ideals first and cross moral and legal boundaries to campaign for more climate protection.For this project, photographer Tenzin Heatherbell delved deep into the world of climate activists: he participated in events, attended court hearings, met the activists in private during their preparations and after their actions. With his camera, Heatherbell was there every step of the way, becoming part of the inner circle while remaining a detached observer. He witnessed how more than 3,000 police officers removed climate protesters from Lützerath who had been occupying the village to prevent the expansion of the nearby open-cast mine. The photographer captured over forty of the Last Generation's highly controversial actions staged at museums, on highways, bridges, and airports.Supplemented by personal impressions and essays, Heatherbell has created a photographic portrait that provides insights into a world that is inaccessible to many people. His intimate look behind the scenes of the climate movement allows us to see other images than those supplied by the mass media. He explores the activists' motives and their rage at what they regard as the inertia of politics and society.

This book connects recent developments in speculative realism, new materialism, and eco-phenomenology to articulate an approach to wonder that escapes the connected traps of anthropocentrism and correlationism. Brian Onishi argues that wonder has explanatory power for the constitution of the world and the organization of meaning. To do this, he appeals to both fiction (speculative and Weird fiction in particular) and quantum physics. More specifically, he argues that the focus of Weird fiction on impossible experiences and a feeling of something just beyond the limits of one¿s grasp dramatizes the speculative reach beyond the limits of our understanding. But more than a tool for knowledge acquisition, wonder is an organizing property of objects. Like the collapse of superposition in quantum physics, reality is constituted when objects reveal themselves to other objects and thereby organize themselves into complex objects. Since no relation is exhaustive, the capacity to wonder remains at a material level, and the possibility of reorganization is ever present. Ultimately, Onishi argues for a speculative eco-phenomenology with wonder as an engine for a Weird environmental ethics.

This book challenges the Western contemporary ¿praise for Nature¿. From food to body practices, from ecological discourses to the Covid-19 pandemic, contemporary imaginaries abound with representations of an ideal ¿pure Nature¿, essentially defined according to a logic of denial of any artificial, modified, manipulated ¿ in short, cultural ¿ aspect.How should we contextualise and understand such an opposition, especially in light of the rich semantic scope of the term ¿nature¿ and its variability over time? And how can we ¿ if we actually can ¿ envisage alternative models and approaches capable of better accounting for such richness and variability? The author addresses these fundamental issues, combining an initial theoretical problematisation of the concept of nature and its evolution ¿ from classical philosophy to the crucial changes occurred through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, Romanticism and the modern era, finally considering recent insights in philosophy, sociology, cultural anthropology and semiotics ¿ with the analysis of its discursivisation ¿ from the iconography of Mother Nature between the past and the present to the representation of catastrophic events in fictional and non-fictional texts, from clean eating and other popular food trends to the ambivalence of the naked body between its supposed natural ascription and its multiple cultural characterisations. Thus she introduces a critique of pure Nature, providing a systematic study of the way nature is attributed meaning and value in some of today¿s most relevant discourses and practices, and finally tracing a possible path towards an ¿internatural turn¿.

This book focuses on the unique philosophical relationship between Hedwig Conrad-Martius and Edith Stein. The two phenomenologists discussed and debated insights and ideas about the nature of the soul, phenomenology, personhood and individuality, animal life, nature, being, and God. This book brings together for the first time leading international scholars of phenomenology to explore the philosophical exchange between both Conrad-Martius and Stein. This is an important book for understanding the development of the phenomenological movement and key phenomenological ideas and methods. It provides a critical and comprehensive overview of the key issues that helped frame both phenomenologists' philosophical trajectories. Additionally, the ideas of Conrad-Martius and Stein are mined to address contemporary questions surrounding such topics as personal identity, animal versus human personhood, contemporary atheism, and the relationship between religion and science. The book will have great appeal to phenomenologists, philosophers, and historians of philosophy. 

Western civilization is over. So begins Jan Zwicky's trenchant exploration of the roots of global cultural and ecological collapse. Once Upon a Time in the West documents how a narrow epistemological style has left us blind to critical features of reality, and how the terrifying consequences of that shuttered vision are now unfolding.

The North American Wildlife Conservation Model (NAM) is the driver of a strong anthropocentric stance, which has legalized an ongoing, annual exploitation of hundreds of millions of wild animals, who are killed in the United States through trapping, hunting and other lethal practices. Increasingly, the American public opposes the killing of wild animals for recreation, trophies and profit but has little-if any-knowledge of the Model. The purpose of this book is to empower the public with knowledge about the NAM's insufficiencies and to help expedite the shift from lethal to compassionate conservation, an endeavour urgently needed particularly under the threats of climate change, human population growth and accelerating plant and animal species extinctions.With a focus on trapping, this book exposes the NAM's belief in human supremacy and its consequences for wild animals and their ecosystems, the same value that is driving the ongoing global destruction of nature and accelerating species extinction. Motivated by a deep concern for wild animals who suffer and whose lives are extinguished each year by 'sportsmen and women', this book exposes the violent treatment of wild animals inherent in governmental-promoted hunting and trapping programs, while emphasizing the importance of empathy and compassion for other animals in conservation and in our lives.

Das Klima auf der Erde hat sich schon immer verändert. Was neu ist: Angsteinflößende Katastrophen-Szenarien.Ja, es ist zwischen 1980 und 2015 weltweit um knapp 1 Grad Celsius wärmer geworden. Wobei: Die globale Erderwärmung hat seit 2015 wieder einmal eine Pause eingelegt.Wenn CO2 wirklich ein Problem ist, müsste die Menschheit das Verbrennen von Kohle, Erdöl und Erdgas insgesamt erheblich reduzieren. Allerdings wird der Energiebedarf der Menschheit derzeit weltweit zu über 80% aus fossilen Brennstoffen gedeckt - und nur zu etwa 5% aus Wind und Sonne. Und der Energiebedarf wird weiter steigen. Kann das weltweit wirklich verändert werden? Wollen die Menschen das überhaupt?Im Pariser Klimaabkommen haben die USA und die EU und einige weitere Industrieländer eine kurzfristige und deutliche Verringerung ihres CO2-Ausstoßes zugesagt. Diese Länder stehen für etwa 25% des weltweiten CO2-Ausstoßes. Rettung der Welt? Oder nur ein regional begrenzter und teurer Feldversuch?Löwe und Katze blicken auf die Themen Klimawandel und Energiewende aus Katzensicht. Was beide nicht mögen: Ideologisch geführte Debatten. Was sie mögen? Ganz einfach: Der Löwe mag Antilopen und die Katze mag Thunfisch in Gelee.

Esta investigación opera con los productos culturales que se encuadran en las poéticas del fin del mundo, las distopías, las crisis actuales provocadas por fenómenos naturales o por la intervención del ser humano en el deterioro físico, así como las visiones apocalípticas que en nuestros días intentan explicar la deriva del planeta y reflexionar sobre la situación pre y pospandémica. Asimismo, se tratan algunos aspectos relacionados con estos problemas actuales alrededor de conceptos asociados a la ecocrítica.Desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX y las primeras décadas del actual, transitan por la literatura y el pensamiento de América Latina muchos textos distópicos, centrados en las consecuencias de la posmodernidad, la globalización, el nuevo orden económico, social y político mundial, las nuevas tiranías, el cambio climático y las plagas y pandemias, que se explicitan en géneros como la ciencia ficción, el cyberpunk, las ecodistopías, los apocalipsis y postapocalipsis, campos abiertos y muy bien cosechados sobre todo en la narrativa de nuestra América. En este ensayo, tras un panorama general, se integran las dos líneas fundamentales: una dirigida a las distopías, las crisis generales, apocalipsis y desastres, y otra cercana a problemas de ecocrítica y ecoliteratura, en la que se alojan reflexiones sobre los ámbitos naturales, rurales y selváticos.

This book aims to draw readers' attention to the benefits once present nature in Azerbaijan. Over the past hundred years, much of this has been lost because of the neglect of the intrinsic values of nature by both managers and local authorities, and the overuse of natural resources. For example, oil pollution and overfishing in the Caspian Sea have almost destroyed its fish and caviar resources. In this volume, the authors distinguish between the concepts of "e;gain"e; and "e;income"e; and show readers that short-term benefits based solely on monetary income deprive people and nature itself of long-term, lasting value. The book provides readers with real historical information, discusses the interactions between humans and nature, and shows, with real data and trends, the consequences of anthropogenic activity on natural resources in Azerbaijan. The authors cover fish, water, forest, mountain, and pasture ecosystems, draw attention to the impacts that pollution and other forms of environmental degradation have had on these resources, and the show the impact that resource depletion on people's livelihoods. The book is intended primarily for managers, policymakers, students, and academics, and will be of interest to natural scientists, historians, and students of culture.

Orientiert am Leitbild gelungener Beziehung skizziert Matthias Wörne Naturpädagogik als einen Bildungsansatz, in dessen Fokus die mehr-als-menschliche Welt und die Stränge unserer Beziehungen zur Natur stehen. Naturbildung zielt auf Resonanz und Zuwachs von Vertrautheit mit der Natur sowie auf eine Zunahme von Wissen, Verständnis und Bewusstheit. Sie möchte mehr Respekt und Partnerschaftlichkeit im Umgang mit der Natur bewirken und Engagement für die Welt fördern. Naturbildung schöpft ihr Potenzial dann aus, wenn sie ihre Werkzeuge bewusst und gezielt einsetzt, sich um förderliche Rahmenbedingungen und um Verknüpfungen bemüht und sich den Herausforderungen einer Welt im Wandel stellt.Eine Handreichung für alle, die selbst in der Naturpädagogik aktiv sind bzw. aktiv werden wollen.

A writer and educator reflects on the idealistic, tumultuous, and eye-opening time she spent as a back-to-the-land hippie homesteader in Kootenays in the 1970s.What compelled a nice Jewish girl from the suburbs of New York to spend a decade of her life as a hippie homesteader in the BC wilderness? Galena Bay Odyssey traces Ellen Schwartz’s journey from a born-and-raised urbanite who was terrified of the woods to a self-determined logger, cabin-builder, gardener, chicken farmer, apiarist, and woodstove cook living on a communal farm in the Kootenays. Part memoir, part exploration of what motivated the exodus of young hippies—including American expatriates, like Ellen and her husband, Bill—to go “back to the land” in remote parts of North America during the 1960s and ’70s, this fascinating book explores the era’s naivety, idealism, and sense of adventure. Like most “back to the land” books, Galena Bay Odyssey describes the physical work involved in clearing land, constructing buildings, and living off of what they produced, but it also traces the complicated journey of discovery this experience brought to Ellen and Bill. Now, nearly half a century later, Ellen reflects on what her homesteader experience taught her about living more fully, honestly, and ecologically.

Speciesisme betegner vores hierarkiske opdeling af ikke-menneskelige arter i forhold til vores interesser. Dette hierarki er synligt, når vi ser, hvordan vi opfatter og behandler dyr i forhold til vores interesser og behov. Vi tildeler vores kæledyr bestemte rettigheder og giver dem særlige privilegier, men ikke vores opdrættede dyr, selvom nogen af disse har kognitive færdigheder, der er højere end vores katte og hunde. Der ingen tvivl om, at Danmark i dag er en speciesistisk nation. Danmark har intensiveret speciesisme til det maksimale – vi er verdensførende, hvad angår antallet af dyr, der lever og dør i Danmark, set i forhold til vores lands areal og befolkningsstørrelse. Ingen andre steder i verdenen er speciesisme så fremherskende. At udfordre speciesismen, og hvordan den manifesterer sig selv i Danmark, er at stille radikale spørgsmål til vores egen magtposition her i verdenen – en udfordring, som hvis den vandt, ville betyde at vi mennesker ville være nødsaget til at opgive de privilegier vi har ved at udnytte dyr som vi gør i dag. Danish Speciesism kortlægger speciesismens historiske betydning, og hvordan den viser sig i dag, og giver et indblik i, hvordan livet og døden opleves for de dyr, der lever under speciesismens åg. Til sidst giver bogen et bud på, hvordan vi kunne få et andet forhold til dyrene, hvis vi gav slip på vores kontrol over naturen – og i stedet lod den være sig selv: Vild natur. Bogen er på engelsk.

This book proposes a bold idea. Living beings are distinguishing distinctions. Single cells and multicellular organisms maintain themselves distinct by drawing distinctions. This is what organisms are and what they do. From this starting point, key issues examined range across ontology, epistemology, phenomenology, logic, and ethics. Topics discussed include the origin of life, the nature and purpose of biology, the relation between life and logic, the nature and limits of formal logic, the nature of subjects, the subject-object relation, subject-subject relationships and the deep roots of ethics. The book provides a radical new foundation to think about philosophy and biology and appeals to researchers and students in these fields. It powerfully debunks mechanical thinking about living beings and shows the vast reservoir of insights into aliveness available in the arts and humanities.

Never before had the garden to fulfil so many demands as it does today. It is a refuge from digitalised life and acts as a bridge to nature. As a man-made place where plants grow, it is cultivated and untamable at the same time. While for centuries the gardener's ambition was to control and subjugate nature, today it serves more as a place for retreat, a possible surrogate for wilderness, a habitat for animals or it fulfils the dream of self-sufficiency. In this book, landscape architects, sociologists, architects, artists, philosophers and historians illuminate different aspects of the garden in the Anthropocene in six chapters: the garden as a place of community, garden as art, garden as a place of enchantment and rapture, opening up questions of what garden as a model could stand for.
