Submission Deadline: 01/31/2021 —
The conference aims to explore how different social actors and groups frame the issue of ‘un/predictability’ in their narratives, solutions and practices, and how un/predictable are their intended outcomes? Aiming to discuss the results of ethnographically grounded research, we invite papers that address questions such as:
To what extent are specific climate and ecological disasters un/predictable?
What are the implications of this un/predictability for human and non-human agency?
How do specific discourses of socio-ecological un/predictability underpin competing narratives around (hyper)modernity, (over)consumption, climate change and sustainability?
How have states, industries, environmental activists and artists used visual and other means to propagate and embody ecology-focused visions of the (un/predictable) future?
To what extent are their own campaigns un/predictable?
How are we to think, feel and act in an increasingly turbulent planet and associated socioecological contexts?
