Blaser shows that the prevalent solutions to these problems?which often depend on intensifying globalization, technological development, and extractivism?only deepen these crises. Effectively addressing these issues, he suggests, might require grounding our ways of being in the specificities of place. Drawing on decades of ethnographic experience in South America and the Canadian subarctic, and engaging with material semiotics, Blaser recasts the fundamental political question of how to live together well as a cosmopolitical one: how to become emplaced with others, in divergence. Ultimately, he presents a political ontology where visions of the good life oriented to the specificities of place guide us through the promises and challenges that a journey toward emplacement holds. 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Colonialism & Post-Colonialism$2bisacsh 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Colonialism & Post-Colonialism. 686 $aPOL033000$aPOL045000$aSOC008050$2bisacsh 700 $aBlaser$b Mario, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01799593 712 02$aSocial Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996647842703316 996 $aFor Emplacement$94343946 997 $aUNISA
