BEYOND PLANT BLINDNESS

SEEING THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANTS FOR A SUSTAINABLE WORLD

BEYOND PLANT BLINDNESS

Descrizione

The team set out to urge a philosophical and actionable move beyond the cultural condition of plant blindness and so to disrupt what is a traditional and debilitating human view. Despite the challenges, there is a need for humans to engage conceptually and responsibly with non-human organisms, possessing entirely different physiologies and behaviours. In our engagement with such difference, it is vital that we are not diverted into subjecting plants to human registers and ‘terms of resemblance’, (Houle, 2011) but rather to engage with their ‘plantness’ (Darley, 1990), an approach equating to ‘parities in meeting’ (Snæbjörnsdóttir & Wilson 2010). Plants live in different temporalities to mammalian life (Sanders, 2019). Consequently, in human perception they can appear still, silent and passive. This is often contingent on the cultural environment in which plants live and the consequently associated narratives. In contemporary city life the complex morphologies and behaviours plants possess are customarily conflated in simplistic terms, such as house-plant, street-tree, and food. These categories speak not at all of the incalculable contributions plants make to the ecological fabric of life on Earth; neither do they acknowledge the complex, temporal and socio-biological systems within which they exist.
