KlimaCampus Kolloquium: The time of the end. Perspectives from post-apocalyptic environmentalism
The transition movement and the collapsologists are part of what research has recently defined as a ‘postapocalyptic’ environmental movement. They share the emotive-cognitive assessment that it is too late to ward off the catastrophic consequences of climate change and ecological degradation and that fossil-driven modernity is already collapsing. Drawing on interviews and observations, the talk highlights how transitioners and collapsologists manage emotions like grief, anxiety, fear and hope, and how the emotive-cognitive realization of living in the time of the end has led to new action-orientations and breaking with their past lifestyles.
