Composing climate change as a matter of everyday living: Thinking against displacement
本文探讨气候变化如何促使我们重新思考与未来的关系,基于荷兰焦点小组对话,分析试图掌控未来的做法如何将气候变化从当下体验中位移,并主张将其重新置于此时此地。
In light of societal pushback against climate policy implementations and in response to the call for imaginations of (alternative) futures beyond the cold numbers of climate projections, this article considers how climate change urges us to rethink our relationship with the future. Drawing on feminist perspectives on living in times of climate intrusion, we theoretically explore a contrast between attempts to master futures and attention for futures as generated in everyday living. Attempts to master climate futures, we show drawing on focus group conversations that took place in the Netherlands in 2021 and 2022, tend to displace climate change from the here and now of lived experience, thereby depoliticising it in specific ways. Thinking against the four displacements traced throughout our data, this article makes the case for relocating climate change in the here and now. In so doing, we advance conversations on how to continue living in presents marked by (disruptive) climate change and engage the question how climate change can be made public and imagined otherwise.
