Research on the imagination of environmental collapse has thus far been dominated by the futurology of the climate crisis. Climate change is oftentimes conceptualized as a planetary crisis in which a rhetorical and universal “we” is confronted with an unprecedented global future. This has led to a diminished capacity to appreciate the extent to which site-specific histories are crucial for understanding how world-creating occurs in different ways, across different places. In this paper, we aim to highlight the cultural-historical sensitivities of ecological narratives and imaginaries. Drawing on the notion of the pluriverse, we examine how contemporary Mexican writers and landscape architects re-imagine urban spaces in order to break with the colonial and Eurocentric forms of knowledge that have led to the sinking of Mexico City, a process that is aggravated by climate change. We show that contemporary and future ecological problems are tied up with past marginalization and suppressions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
