In Facing the Planetary William E. Connolly expands his influential
work on the politics of pluralization, capitalism, fragility, and
secularism to address the complexities of climate change and to
complicate notions of the Anthropocene. Focusing on planetary
processes—including the ocean conveyor, glacier flows, tectonic
plates, and species evolution—he combines a critical
understanding of capitalism with an appreciation of how such
nonhuman systems periodically change on their own. Drawing upon
scientists and intellectuals such as Lynn Margulis, Michael Benton,
Alfred North Whitehead, Anna Tsing, Mahatma Gandhi, Wangari
Maathai, Pope Francis, Bruno Latour, and Naomi Klein, Connolly
focuses on the gap between those regions creating the most climate
change and those suffering most from it. He addresses the creative
potential of a "politics of swarming" by which people in different
regions and social positions coalesce to reshape dominant
priorities. He also explores how those displaying spiritual
affinities across differences in creed can energize a militant
assemblage that is already underway.
