Planetary Poetics

Summary/Abstract: In his essay, Moraru underscores that “globe” and “planet” are products, something done to the world, made in and out of it. World-making and -remaking forms, they are outcomes of worlding, that is, of highly complex, interrelated changes leading to vastly transformative interactions of the world’s various parts, much though the same world’s animate and inanimate systems, at whose expense growth and integration have been de facto unfolding, have been concomitantly coming under unprecedented threat. Where a certain poverty of the critical imagination limits standard takes on the late-global era to self-congratulatory uncovering of the world-as-globe realities, Moraru’s approach is keen on recovering a more nuanced, present-grounded yet future-oriented picture. A record of world-making or world-poiesis, this picture lends itself, Moraru contends, to a reading—a planetary reading—whose job is a reverse engineering of sort of planetary poetics.
