The Gaia Affect: Doing Thealogy in an Age of
Ecological Crisis
In an age of anthropogenic global warming, environmental
catastrophes, mass species extinctions and resource scarcity, this talk
considers what it may mean to draw feminist thealogy into a close
relationship with ecological philosophy. Focusing on some recent
appropriations of James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis’s Gaia theory, such
as Bruno Latour’s (2017)
Facing Gaia, Isabelle Stengers’s (2015)
‘intrusion of Gaia’ into human history, and Deborah Danowski and Eduardo
Viveiros de Castro’s (2017)
The Ends of the World, it is argued that
thealogy must be able to think and feel its way towards and through an
eco-apocalyptic future.
