Reading In-Common: Configurations of the Incalculable and the Planetary Imagination

Summary/Abstract: Situated at the historical juncture of increased global violence, retronationalism, neoliberalism, techno-positivism, environmental and humanitarian disaster, the planet and life itself are in crisis and human “reason is on trial” (Mbembe). This post-global planetary emergency also signifies a crisis of the cultural and political imagination (Gosh) and a lack of critical paradigms through which to address this crisis creatively. This essay discusses a number of analytical terms—noise, the immaterial, rupture/event, the “environmental uncanny” (Gosh), “re-existence” (Mignolo)—to read the planetary in (im)material and decolonial terms as configurations of the incalculable.
