“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Harvard Talk (video)



“Ecology without the Present.” Thanks so much to Larry Buell, Jorie Graham and Peter Sacks, and Damian White (who came all the way from RISD), along with Panagiotis Roilis, my host, and Karen Thornber, the most gracious, smart and good humored dinner guests (and interlocutors) possible. The Q&A was particularly great as you will hear, although there are some thing I'd like to have said to Larry's question, which perhaps I'll be able to get to in a personal message to him, that were more cogent than what I spewed!
Ecology without the Present


It's possible I may tweak the MP3 (cutting the first couple of minutes of dead time before the introduction by Panagiotis). Here it is in any case!
