• W4387397811 abstract "Durational Thinking and the Futures of EH Jeffrey Jerome Cohen (bio) Happy anniversary to Resilience: A Journal of the Environmental Humanities! A decade is an impressive duration for an academic journal to flourish, a testament to the community of editors, writers, and readers who support its work—as well as to the continued relevance of rigorous ecological thinking in the face of relentless catastrophe. The vision statement for Resilience observes that the “vibrant interdisciplinary field” of environmental humanities was coming into being about five years before the journal was launched.1 Its authors articulate the discipline’s missions in a way that continues to resound powerfully. Scholars of the environmental humanities engage with the natural and social sciences, whose expertise is crucial in addressing current planetary crises such as global climate change . . . The focus on narrative skill, critical thinking, historicity, culture, aesthetics and ethics central to the humanities and to humanistic social sciences provides a crucial research complement to the endeavors of scientists. The urgency of interdisciplinary collaboration has never been greater, since no single field is capable of sufficiently addressing the current crisis. If data alone could move minds towards decisions that reduce ecological consequence rather than continue to provoke emergency, then we would not be living in an era of intensifying shore erosion, aridification, flood, extreme temperatures, soil loss, water scarcity, environmental racism. If story alone could move hearts towards a wider sense of human and nonhuman commonality and engender collective action [End Page 25] rather than toxic individualism, we would likewise see a reduction in ambient harm. If a sense of temporal and geographic scale could be better apprehended, maybe we would stop choosing to maximize only the freedoms that we enjoy at this moment and work towards enabling generations far into the future to have these freedoms themselves. Intensifying future resiliency, agency, and community will not happen without every discipline deployed in collaboration. Transtemporal community means keeping the future open—and including those who live in times to come in the decision-making processes that will shape what world they inhabit. It also means being far more attentive to how those who have come before us have bequeathed to their future (our present moment) capacious modes of understanding our worldedness and the worldedness of those to come. Transtemporal community is a moebius strip: the future, past and present are entwined in motion. Thinking the future with rigor, commitment, and love for what has not yet arrived (but still requires our present care) becomes easier when we renew our attentiveness to history for beings and environments that have been, for narratives (human and nonhuman) that continue to entangle us, for everything that has ever been capable of challenging what we exclude when we use a word like “us.” The environmental humanities might be less than two decades old, but environmental thinking and attending possess a far longer pedigree, extending far beyond the era when the humanities, social and natural sciences were configured into separate fields. Science is at its base a mode of knowing (Latin scire). Scientia long designated wholistically various ways of understanding, essaying, and minding the world. In some of the collaborative work in which I have participated, we have posited that the environmental humanities are as historically extensive as the elemental philosophy of thinkers like Empedocles, who wrote his physics in poetry and described a vortex-propelled cosmos animated by love and strife. Empedocles was enamored of the world’s materialities (earth, air, fire and water) in their constant admixtures. He did not believe in enduring stabilities, but neither did he argue that world is a storehouse of inert resources ready for human use. Empedocles also knew that without the aesthetic force of meter, verse and vivid language, any scientific facts that he wished to convey were not going to make their desired impression, would not be received as knowledge to [End Page 26] be internalized, held close, made a spur to action. We do a great disservice to history when we suppose that those who came before us were not as curious, competent, and creative as we who live today. It’s a sobering thought to realize that there are likely more people..." @default.
