Vital Reenchantments examines so-called cold philosophy, or science, that does precisely the opposite — rather than mercilessly emptying out and unweaving, it operates as a philosophy that animates. More specifically, Greyson closely examines how a specific group of “poet-in-scientists” of the late 1970s and 1980s directed attention to the “wondrous” unfolding of life, at a time when the counter-culture in particular had made the institution of science synonymous with technologies of alienation and destruction. In this vein, Vital Reenchantments takes up E.O. Wilson’s Biophilia (1984), James Lovelock’s Gaia (1979), and Carl Sagan’s Cosmos (1980), in order to show how each work fleshes out scientific concepts with a unique attention to “affective wonder,” understood as the experience of and attunement to novel effects. What is so unique about these works is that they reenchant the scientific world without pandering to what Richard Dawkins will later term “cosmic sentimentality.” Carl Sagan may have said “We are made of starstuff,” but he would never insist, as Joni Mitchell did in 1969, that “we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.” Instead, they insist on a third way that does not rely on the idea of an ecological Eden — a vigorously vital materialism in which the affective trumps the sentimental. Further, the historical emergence of these works, all published within 5 years of each other, was no accident: each book responded to an ever deepening sense of environmental crisis, certainly, but along with it they responded to, perhaps more than marginally related, narratives of the large-scale disenchantment brought on by modernity or science, and more often than not a mixture of the two. Greyson argues that the persistence of these works and their affectively-charged scientific concepts in contemporary popular culture and ecological thought is no accident. As such, these works deserve recognition as far more than “popular science” and can be seen as essential contributions to more contemporary vital materialist thought and ecological theory. No doubt this talk of enchantment and wonder, so tied to immediate experience, can seem trivial in the face of any number of environmental crises (global warming first among these) that do not just appear ominously on the horizon, but loom as never before. The first task of this book thus to pose the same question that Jane Bennett does at the end of her own work on enchantment: “How can someone write a book about enchantment in such a world?” Does this approach really provide, as Latour phrases it, “a way to bridge the distance between the scale of the phenomena we hear about and the tiny Umwelt inside which we witness, as if it were a fish inside its bowl, an ocean of catastrophes that are supposed to unfold”? Ultimately, Vital Reenchantments argues that affective ecologies, properly attended to, point toward an open present, one that broadens the horizons of the “fish bowl” and allows us to imagine engendering futures that are neither naively hopeful nor hopelessly apocalyptic.Philosophy of sciencebicsscElectronic books. ecologyaffect studiesscience studiesphilosophy of scienceenvironmental humanitiesecophilosophyplanetary geologyPhilosophy of science577.01Greyson Lauren884821MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUP9910315230603321Vital reenchantments1975771UNINA04202nam 2200721Ia 450 991095228440332120200520144314.00-292-77937-20-292-79915-210.7560/731219(CKB)111090425017230(OCoLC)55889846(CaPaEBR)ebrary10190649(SSID)ssj0000171929(PQKBManifestationID)11155786(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000171929(PQKBWorkID)10133223(PQKB)10280439(MdBmJHUP)muse19329(Au-PeEL)EBL3443067(CaPaEBR)ebr10190649(Au-PeEL)EBL7171724(DE-B1597)587205(DE-B1597)9780292799158(Perlego)3815683(MiAaPQ)EBC3443067(EXLCZ)9911109042501723019990426d2000 ub 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierHistory and silence purge and rehabilitation of memory in late antiquity /Charles W.

These formal and traditional practices included removing the person's name and image from public monuments and inscriptions, making it illegal to speak of him, and forbidding funeral observances and mourning. Paradoxically, however, while these practices dishonored the person's memory, they did not destroy it. Indeed, a later turn of events could restore the offender not only to public favor but also to re-inclusion in the public record. This book examines the process of purge and rehabilitation of memory in the person of Virius Nicomachus Flavianus(?-394). Charles Hedrick describes how Flavian was condemned for participating in the rebellion against the Christian emperor Theodosius the Great—and then restored to the public record a generation later as members of the newly Christianized senatorial class sought to reconcile their pagan past and Christian present. By selectively remembering and forgetting the actions of Flavian, Hedrick asserts, the Roman elite honored their ancestors while participating in profound social, cultural, and religious change.Inscriptions, LatinItalyRomePalimpsestsItalyRomeMemorySocial aspectsItalyRomeHistoryMonumentsConservation and restorationItalyRomeHistoryElite (Social sciences)ItalyRomeHistoriographyForum of Trajan (Rome, Italy)RomePolitics and government284-476HistoriographyInscriptions, LatinPalimpsestsMemorySocial aspectsHistory.MonumentsConservation and restorationHistory.Elite (Social sciences)Historiography.937Hedrick Charles W.1956-223483MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910952284403321History and silence708425UNINA
