In this Off The Page episode, author Robin Visser discusses QUESTIONING BORDERS with host Li-Ping Chen. https://buff.ly/3SjRPzL Visser contrasts the dominant Han Chinese cosmology of center and periphery that informs what she calls “Beijing Westerns” with Indigenous and hybridized ways of relating to the world that challenge borders, binaries, and hierarchies. #ListenUP #OffThePage #Literature #LiteraryStudies #Ecoliterature #ChineseLiterature #TaiwaneseLiterature #China #Taiwan

A very interesting article….. every one should know the facts of humanity.

IODP | The Library of Earth's History The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) is a global scientific endeavor that unravels the mysteries of our planet's history and inner workings. This international marine research collaboration harnesses the power of cutting-edge ocean-going research platforms to recover invaluable data encoded within the sediments and rocks that blanket the seafloor. https://lnkd.in/erBUUqgX

Watched this BBC documentary of Easter Island's mystery with family to draw lessons for my little ones: -Overconsumption and exploitation of natural resources can lead to ecological collapse. -The pursuit of monumental projects (e.g., obsession in competing to build the biggest statues on Easter Island, symbolic of power) can contribute to environmental degradation and disaster. -Easter Island's isolated ecosystem reached its limits, leading to resource scarcity and societal decline. Our planet also has finite resources and carrying capacities. Recognizing these limits is crucial to avoid exploitation of planet resources. -Competition and conflict over dwindling resources exacerbated societal breakdown on Easter Island, leading to hunger and violence. -Contact with Western colonizers brought new diseases to Easter Island, contributing to diseases and epidemic. Easter Island's history serves as a microcosm of broader planetary issues, offering a cautionary tale about the consequences of unsustainable practices and the failure to adapt to environmental limits.  We must learn from history and adopt sustainable business practice to prevent the tragic outcomes experienced by the Easter Island civilization and foster a more sustainable and equitable future for mankind.

Comet Sighting     It was a celestial event where a comet lit the night sky, symbolising wonder and unity amid challenges. 2. Oceans and Environmental Treaty    A global effort to reduce plastic pollution and protect marine ecosystems, leading to a healthier ocean. 3. Rise of AI     Advances in artificial intelligence are celebrated for their potential to transform fields like education and medicine while cautioning against their misuse. 4. Peace Efforts in Conflict Zones    Diplomacy and truce agreements in war-torn regions highlight humanity's drive for peace and healing. 5. Global Sporting Events (Fifth Day)    International sports competitions foster unity, break records, and unite people across borders. 6. Revival of the Arts (Sixth Day)     There has been a resurgence in creative expression through theatre, art, and literature, which reflects humanity's resilience. 7. Climate Change Actions    Youth-led movements and tangible steps taken to address climate change, including reforestation and clean energy initiatives. 8. Commemorating Lost Heroes    Tributes to individuals lost during the year, celebrating their contributions and legacies. 9. Celebration of Literature    The impact of books and storytelling in shaping perspectives, offering solace, and fostering creativity. 10.

Thank you Catherine for your generous and care-full engagement with "Planetary Justice: Stories and studies of action, resistance and solidarity" (ping Michele Lobo and Laura Bedford). From the review: "Planetary Justice presents a collective call to action and a compelling set of possibilities for materializing justice in response to multi-scale climate and ecological breakdown. [...] Interweaving and building on theories of ecological, climate, environmental and multispecies justice, the editors resist enshrining a singular theory of justice, making space instead to ‘bring multiple vocabularies of climate crisis, planetary collapse, activism, solidarity and justice into productive relation, in frictive encounters’ (p. 7). This approach, informed by Shohat’s (2001) plurilogue model, and Tuck and Yang’s (2018) ethic of incommensurability, allows for pluri-logical relations and learning to emerge between the chapters, which speak to, and at times, rub up against one another. Many chapters are collectively written, with authors laying open the ongoing dialogues informing their ideas and practices. An essential element for many authors is learning with the more-than-human, what Aleryk Fricker describes in Chapter 9 as learning in solidarity with Country."

How did the creation of globalized scientific discourses interact with the way states in the Pacific redefined national pasts and futures? My article “Oceanic Knowledge and National Space-Time in Pacific History” explores the uses of historical knowledge and environmental science in the construction of national pasts and futures in the Pacific since the 19th century. From Darwin’s observations on the temporality coral reef growth to native Hawaiian responses to evolution theory and geological arguments about space and future directions of the Japanese nation, my paper puts places and processes into a conversation that are rarely connected in the history of global science. The paper concludes with a reflection on present-day Tuvaluan efforts to curate future memories of a homeland likely to be flooded within few decades––underlining that the meanings of scientifically construed futures are ultimately positional and they inform how nation states redefine their claims over space and time.
