The Nature/Culture split is utterly useless as a concept for understanding reality or how to deal with the ecological problems of our age. I've been saying this for decades, long before I ever heard of Tim Morton or Object Oriented Ontology, long before the word "blog" was even invented...but not before I gave up my studies in anthropology in favor of ecology. I felt that it was more important at the time to try to usher in a new, more ecological way of thinking.
I needn't have bothered. OOO and ecological thought are happening in ALL fields, with or without my help. I'm about to post a video that demonstrates this. By the way, I found this on Graham Harman's blog, "Object Oriented Philosophy". He's great: I've been reading his books on HP Lovecraft and Harman's early formulations of Speculative Realism, and I highly recommend these.
Welcome to pefkfl (pronounced PEF-ka-ful), Nick Guetti's blog. This is where I will post literature relating to various matters of interest to myself and perhaps others, including but not limited to Permaculture; fermentation (and other forms of "culturing"); ecology; fantasy and other forms of imaginative or speculative literature; and martial arts. Posts will be of a generally philosophical and often political nature.
