- W4387397746 abstract "Belated Futures Stephanie Foote, Anthony Lioi, and Dana Luciano Last year, the Resilience collective—Stephanie Foote, Anthony Lioi, and Dana Luciano—asked a range of environmental humanists to speculate about the state of the field for this double issue marking the tenth anniversary of the journal’s publication. In part, we imagined this as a call-back to the journal’s first issue. Resilience 1.1 was entirely dedicated to a suite of manifestos about the environmental humanities. Some of those essays described the state of the field, some argued for the value of how the humanities could contribute to ongoing conversations about environmental policies, histories, and philosophies, and still others pointed out the work the humanities had yet to do in order to address the knotted questions of materiality and textuality. Despite their differences, all of the first issue’s pieces were short, punchy, and written in accessible language. They sought to provoke rather than to persuade, to stake out positions rather than to meticulously gloss a textual passage or a theoretical idea. They asked readers to imagine scholarship that could have an effect on real-world problems and made a brief for the humanities as the site of generative intellectual potential. But ten years ago, there were many fewer environmental humanists than there are now and fewer publications where such positions could be advanced. Now, the field is growing more quickly than anyone can keep up with it, splintering into distinct areas of inquiry like energy humanities, posthumanism, blue humanities, ecomedia, waste studies and so on. Even over the ten-year span of the journal, a surfeit of good work, a plenitude of scholars, a wealth of new modes of inquiry has emerged. If we can judge by the amount of work being produced in academia, the brief for the humanities as a core contributor to environmental [End Page 1] thinking seems to have succeeded. But as our contributors argue in this issue, there’s still work to do to imagine how the humanities can survive, as well as how they can make meaningful connections to the world as it is experienced by social actors structurally excluded from such conversations. It seems odd to think about plenitude and wealth in a field that emerged in part from an increased awareness of the scarcity of resources and the massive redistribution of wealth that followed from the triumph of global capitalism over the last three centuries. Seen that way, environmental humanism (EH) as a discipline has parasitically benefitted from the ongoing climate disaster. There’s so much to study and talk about; the cascade of failures is overwhelming. But perhaps a better way to think about it, as some of our contributors argue, is to slow down and ask again how the field of EH can create ethical scholarly relationships around core issues of access to information and access to basic rights. In this vein, our contributors have tasked themselves with asking what the world as it is needs from humanists. In the first issue of Resilience, the question that underwrote many of the contributions was how to even define EH. That is, the question that subtended the manifestos was about how and why the humanities mattered in the study of environmental decline and crisis. What would interdisciplinary thinking look like if organized around the category of environmental crisis? But the contributors who accepted our invitation to speak open-endedly about the field in this issue are concerned with what work our work—the work called for in these earlier writings—has already done, as well as what it might yet do. Looking over the essays included here, what we see, and we hope you see too, is that the humanists speculating about the future of the field are now imagining different ways to increase access to humanistic work, pushing humanists to think about different publics. As they do so, many of them caution us about our own fantasies about how we approach our work and its core presuppositions. Lawrence Buell, Stephanie LeMenager, Priscilla Wald, and Jeffrey Jerome Cohen offer us lessons in uncertainty and faith. Wald, who tracks the word “resilience” etymologically, asks us to consider what it might..." @default.
