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.
