Stefano Guzzini concludes the issue with a plea for "Foregrounding politics". He counters a geopolitical discourse that externalises nature with an inside-out perspective that centers the ideas of affected communities, and advocates an ‘ethics of prudence’. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In the forum "At the crossroads," @jonathanlukeaustin.bsky.social, David Chandler, Marwa Daoudy, @ritafloyd.bsky.social, and @dahlia-cs.bsky.social discuss how our questions, concepts, and methodologies must change if we take the ecological crisis seriously www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

@mattuq.bsky.social studies how international and domestic bodies mobilise security discourses in relation to climate change and explores the institutional prospects and hurdles for an ecological security agenda. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

@simondalby.bsky.social's paper "Reframing climate security" discusses how discourses and practices of climate security would need to change if the planetary dimension of the crisis, rather than national security concerns, were to take centre stage. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

@giobettini.bsky.social & Anna Casaglia offer a timely empirical case study of how illiberal politics shape the climate-security nexus by unpacking "Italy’s right-wing approach to climate migration and security". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In "The slow violence of climate security," Shannon O'Lear brings attention to the overlooked, incremental harms of climate change, complicating fast-moving security narratives. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our framing paper "Recomposing the climate–security nexus", by @chrhentschel.bsky.social, @uschroeder.bsky.social, and me, proposes to theorize climate security as a composition to capture its material, discursive, temporal, and affective dimensions. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The flaws of the capitalist system are so obvious (destruction of the planet, concentration of wealth and power, etc.) that it is completely insane that this is not generally perceived as a problem 💀

This paper would not have been possible without the generous support of the German Research Foundation, CLICCS @uni-hamburg.de, and @ifshhamburg.bsky.social. Many thanks to @annkathrinb.bsky.social for her support of the project.

By comparing these various projects, the study identifies three frictions of green resilience as a form of biopolitical government: between visibility and invisibility, knowledge and ignorance, and control and emergence.
January 11, 2024 at 1:18 PM
The paper develops its arguments through a paradigmatic case study of various green resilience projects that are part of three major program in New York City – the 9/11 Memorial including the Survivor Tree as, ‘Living Memorials’ and ‘Landscapes of Resilience’.

I combine field research in New York City, expert interviews, document analysis, and digital methods. Taking inspiration from Jennifer Gabrys I traced how the plants and trees of green resilience projects travel through online platforms, remote methods, as well as online films.

I theorize green resilience as a composition. This notion stresses both the relational character of resilience - brought about and sustained by a variety of human and non-human actors - as well as the importance of aesthetics and embodied sensual encounters.
