As the epistemic diagnosis of ‘planetarity’ deals a blow to the logics of globalization, how can such (propositional) knowledge come to transform social practices (know-how) at the level of lived coexistence? How can the consequences of ‘planetarity’ be narrated as an object of political and aesthetic contestation? Since, as Gayatri Spivak infamously quipped, we do not live on a globe (an abstraction), inferring rather that we can only live in worlds, how can and ought ‘planetarity’ to be worlded? The underlying context of this seminar is that worlds are historically, geographically distinct spaces of inhabitation - ones constituted by particular frames of reference from which logics of behaviour, perception, epistemologies, and certain relational qualities derive. Frames of reference operate as perspectival constraints on any social system, evolving operations in adaptive conformity to them, meaning that engaging with the prospect of building otherworlds, entails constructing other frames of reference for that world. Extending from Sylvia Wynter’s conclusion that as post-nuclear creatures now facing climate emergency - not to mention in the throes of a pandemic, for the first time in human history we are confronted with the demand to commit to a project of ‘the human’, and interspecies coexistence, made to ‘the measure of the planetary’. As societies become exponentially complex and interdependent, the problem of how to access this scale of reality in order to begin imagining how it could be configured otherwise. What other frames of reference does this scale of coexistence open up, including understandings of what and where the human is, within this configuration? How can we imagine maneuvering at this scale without subordinating localised differences to homogenizing forces (typical of globalization); how can we preserve the particular while upholding the planetary? What consequences does this scale bear on aesthetic practices, ones that hold a potential to render these new perspectives sensible, and amenable to localised experience?
