The Ontological Brakes of Primordial Time

Benjamin Ross, University of North Texas

We are constantly urged to go faster, to work, consume, and experience more. This author posits that this fascination with acceleration may be leading us to a “Snow Crash-esque cyberpunk dystopia” by 2050 unless we alter our perspective of time. This presentation stresses the need for a new, primordial view of time that is capable of reevaluating our role, and place in the world (more).

Human Behavioral Evolution and Climate Change: Evolved Dispositions, Climate Action, and Integration with the Humanities

John Mustol, Fuller Seminary

What can science tell us about what kind of creatures we are, why we behave as we do, and how we might change our behavior in regards to the planet? This presentation will suggest some answers to these questions based on human behavioral evolution, that might be integrated with the humanities and other sources to help show a way forward and make 2050 and beyond more livable – for us and for other creatures (more).

Weakening Nationalities: The Anthropocene as an Era of Personal Responsibility

Larissa Basso, University of California, San Diego

Current institutions seem incapable of dealing with the reality of climate change. This presentation imagines a world in which current fragmentation is intensified as a means to address this deficiency. The author proposes to acknowledge the heterogeneity that exists inside of a nation state and to consider it beyond its borders. By implementing different measures considering personal/group carbon footprint, climate change could be more successfully tackled and a more just climate future could be created (more).

Working with Dirty Hands: A Christian Realist Environmental Ethics

Dallas J. Gingles, Southern Methodist University

This talk draws on the 20th century ethicist, Reinhold Niebuhr’s, “Christian realism” to argue that we are right to feel regret, remorse, and even guilt when we realize that we are always already complicit in the problem of climate change. Through this lens, as we work to ensure that the Earth continues to be habitable in the coming decades, the presenter stresses we must be indefatigable in pursuing goods and solutions of all kinds while being realistic about our limitations (more).

A Tale of Two Sofias: Contested Visions for an Argentine Agriculture in 2050

Ingrid Elísabet Feeney, University of California, Santa Barbara

This presentation explores the distinct modes of knowledge production which lie behind competing visions for the future of Argentine agriculture, using two figures as an entry point. The first is the animated star of one of Monsanto Argentina’s PR campaigns: Sofia, the nine billionth person on the planet, born January 1st, 2050. The second is an environmental justice activist, who is a core member of the ongoing four-year blockade against the construction of a Monsanto plant in Argentina (more).

Food Sovereignty: A strategy for generating a just future and reducing climate impacts

David Barkin, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana

This talk introduces the concept of a food sovereignty approach to rural development. Through this approach’s forward looking strategy to social mobilization, its confrontation of the scourge of rural disintegration while also addressing the pressing issue of environmental balance, the presenter argues the necessity of such a system to bring about a more just and sustainable future. (more).

Tomorrow’s Fields: Social Farming in 2050

Catherine Day, University of Wisconsin-Madison

This talk imagines a U.S. agriculture in 2050 that has allowed for a resurgence of democratic input into farming, thereby shifting how agricultural knowledge. Such features of a new agricultural system will be discussed and how the new blending of ideas will spur innovation towards more ecologically-oriented agriculture practices that leave behind dependence on fossil fuels and embrace species diversity (more).

A Tale of How Radical Climate Justice Just Might Get Us All to 2050 in One Piece [a novella in progress]

John Foran, University of California, Santa Barbara

This presentation will re-envision Naomi Oreskes and Richard Conway’s grim “future history,” through the hopeful lens of today’s global climate justice movement. The talk will conclude by venturing into the uncharted territory of a post-capitalist world (more).

Changing the Narrative: Viewing the Present from the Future

Christopher Bowman, University of Minnesota—Twin Cities

This paper constructs a counternarrative to dystopian climate fiction by identifying sources of optimism and envisioning the outcomes of their implementation. While ultimately depicting a number of collisions with climate change, this paper charts a more likely—and optimistic—narrative for humanity than its apocalyptic predecessors (more).

The Great Transformation: How We (Just) Avoided a Climate Catastrophe

Jeremy Lent, Liology Institute

This talk imagines a world saved from the brink of collapse by grass-roots communities across the world connected through a shared foundation of core values emphasizing quality of life over material possessions. The presenter outlines what such a movement would entail and how it reverted the world from near certain catastrophe (more).

Three Fragments to Generate Alternative Visions of Climate Futures

Laurence Marty, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales

This talk will draw from the presenter’s personal experience in the environmental realm to tell the story of three fictional characters affected by climate change. By expanding the scope of potentialities, including prefigurative experiments developed by social movements, the author hopes to help imagine and create alternative and fairer climate futures(more).

After Nemo: Animated Film and the Consequences of ‘Cute’ for Ocean Life

Justyna Poray-Wybranowska and Rachel Levine, York University and University of Toronto

We use Finding Nemo to examine the relationship between popular media depictions of animals, and human consideration of the non-human world. We argue that a more equitable climate future requires imagining alternate models of relationships with nonhuman beings and environments, and that a key way to attempt this task is to take seriously the type of fictional stories which shape how young audiences come to ‘know,’ and subsequently relate to, non-human animals (more).

Networked and Compassionate Eco-Noetic Environments – Art, Technology Design and Education Beyond Utopia

Lila Moore, Cybernetic Futures Institution

This talk introduces the idea of how research and practice from the fields of networked performance and learning, VR, and cyberception demonstrate that new technologies and methodologies can evolve and improve our involvement with the body-mind, one another, and the environment to transform the narrative of the Anthropocene (more).

Still Something Other: Graffiti and Ecology in the Context of Extreme Weather

Evan Gromel, University of Calgary

This presentation considers graffiti as what ecotheorist Timothy Morton has coined “ambient art.” The presentation illustrates the possibility of discovering an ecological mode of art within a form of expression traditionally perceived as a type of social capital, and thus the possibility of a world where earnest ecological consciousness can emerge from where it was once understood to be purely simulated, or outright dismissed (more).

Technocraft: Feminist Materials

Kara Stone, University of California, Santa Cruz

This talk will be a post-mortem by the artists of Technocraft discussing the process of creating the piece as it relates to re-considering women’s histories in technology, and the digital’s relationship to materiality and the earth. The talk will include photos and videos of the art piece which is composed of a deconstructed computer that we then reconstructed or replicated with traditional crafting techniques, and hung piece by piece (more).

Imagining Plant-Like Futures? Vegetal Intelligence in Brian Aldiss’ Novel Hothouse (1962)

John Ryan, University of Western Australia

How might we imagine humanity in 2050 as more plant-like—as in higher synchronization with vegetal temporality in our scientific, technological, cultural, and interpersonal pursuits? How might we resist denying a future to plants and, thus, to ourselves and other beings? This paper will address questions such as these through a reading of Brian Aldiss’ Hothouse, recipient of the 1962 Hugo Award for Best Short Fiction (more).

Science Fiction Questions the Foundations of Human Progress: Extrapolations of Desire in James: Tiptree Jr.’s A Momentary Taste of Being

Selena Middleton, McMaster University

This paper explores the ways in which science fiction exposes the mutability of our humanity within the context of ecological collapse as depicted in James Tiptree Jr.’s A Momentary Taste of Being. Tiptree’s narrative explores the transformation of the crew members of an interstellar voyage when they come into contact with an alien species (more).

The Emergence of Climate Change Populism in Ecocinema

Sophie Christman Lavin, Stony Brook University

This presentation will show how contemporary filmmakers use cinematic imaginaries to reveal the speculative fears humans have about global climate change. I argue that climate change populism is a global trend that emerged in early ecocinema film and will explain how filmmakers ultimately express the existential and cultural undercurrents of climate change populism, while interrogating how various socioeconomic classes will fare in the Anthropocene future (more).

Guanaroca: Using a Creation Myth to Raise Awareness of Climate Change

David Taylor, Stony Brook University

Teatro del los Elementos, a theatre group based in Cumanayagua, Cuba, has blended performance, community activism, and sustainability for well over twenty years. Their performance Guanaroca retells the creation myth of the Guanaroca Lagoon, a story that borrows from both Yoruba and Taino mythology. This presentation will discuss the origins of the myth and how Teatro de los Elementos’ performance raises awareness of the lagoon’s peril due to climate change (more).

Stories of Nuclear Disaster and the Anthropocene

Heidi Hutner, Stony Brook University

My talk will focus on my research that includes interviews with victims of nuclear disaster. I will discuss the silencing of nuclear victim stories, and the denial of factual and scientific information on the negative impact of radiation. I will bring in film narratives and literary texts briefly to highlight the cultural/cognitive dissonance between masculinist conceptions of weaponry and energy production, versus stories of mothers, children, indigenous community members, and scientists that counter popular pro-nuclear myths (more).

Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) and the Inang Bayan: Postcolonial Environmental Memory and Climate Change in Filipino Ecocritical Writings

Jeffrey Santa Ana, Stony Brook University

This paper studies Filipino ecocritical writings in English (prose, poetry, and narrative) that depict the confrontation between global climate change and diverse cultures across the Philippines. The paper shows how Philippine literary anthologies about Typhoon Yolanda address a global environmental crisis in ways that are inseparable from assessing the effects of (post-) imperial modernity and neocolonialism in the Philippines (more).

Narrative and Anthropocene Imagination

David Rodriguez, Stony Brook University

An essential part of action in the present is enabled by our image of the future. This presentation will work from now to 2050 through a speculative test of phenomenological theories of imagination that are rather unselfconsciously concerned with how the imagination of the world in the present can affect the future. Through an analysis of three anthropocene texts, I show how these unique imaginative experiences can vitally supplement theorizations of imagination in the anthropocene (more).

Narrative in the Anthropocene

Erin James, University of Idaho

This presentation imagines how narrative can best represent the environmental changes that are to come. Specifically, it engages recent discussions about the Anthropocene to imagine a theory of narrative that is sensitive to matters commonly associated with the epoch. I argue that an “Anthropocene narratology” stands to enrich a universal model of narrative by incorporating ideas pertinent to this new geological epoch and developing a richer vocabulary enabling us to understand better the current state of the world and our relationship to it (more).

Climate Futures, Narrative Experiments

Marco Caracciolo, Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies

This paper asks how narrative can become a tool for modeling the ambivalence of climate futures. I argue that experimental texts are in a better position than fiction of the realistic variety to build the open-endedness and instability of climate change into a narrative. I focus on five strategies that make this possible, offering concrete examples for each strategy (more).

What is a Cultural Intervention? Working at the Margins

Chris Robertson, Climate Psychology Alliance (speaking on his own behalf)

Seldom addressed in COP21 were the underlying cultural and social dynamics that constrain people from acting in ways that fit their espoused values. This talk seeks to address these issues by looking at how psychotherapists are able to understand these cultural dynamics and complexes that may hinder environmental action (more).
