This is a blog on Sustension, or "baerekraft". It is born because sustainable change is about much more than technical solutions, more than chemistry, more than economics, more than politics, more than Lomborg and more than COP (1-15 etc), more than Climate Councils and corporative innovation and moral obligation. Much more than the chooice of governors - or of individual consumers.
From this site, I will reflect on the role of philosophy and other culturalities on what we normally call sustainability. One point that I would naturally feel obliged to address is the choice of concepts here. What is this Sustension thing - what is Baerekraft, and why not just use the words as everybody else?
Normally, I work from within the perspective of Gravitations Centre for Action Philosophy or its sibling, Agenturet, starting in Copenhagen this summer and hopefully spreading to activities in at least 5 or 6 other locations within the coming year.
This is my space for more directly personal testing of concepts, ideas, blurbs, invitations to play and talk and think across the dsiciplines that i touch in my everyday: philosophy, action research, artistic research and social sculpture, installations, communication matters, issues of idelogy, change, transition, political agendas and the role of art and philosophy in all of this, cultural views and culturalities - and of course strange fields of interest of mine such as chronotopes, sustensions, eventalities, culturalities, collective intuition, social virtuality, and much more..
This field is an open one. If you want to post to this blog, and you want more than a comment, let me know, and I will post you - as long as you can relate to the issues mentioned above, wether you agree or disagree, like it or not.
There may also be posts in other languages than English, as I feel just as much at home and sometimes more, in Dansih or even in French - and as some of the people who may want to write something will maybe do this in Italian, German, or Spanish (or even other languages..).
Welcome to the world of baerekraft. Welcome to my sustensive chronotope of words and images.
