Abstract
Adriana Petryna’s essay “Futurities Rethought” is an extension of her groundbreaking monograph Horizon Work: At the Edges of Knowledge in an Age of Runaway Climate Change, which in my view constitutes an analytically powerful pushback and manifesto against catastrophic thinking and end-of-the-world panic in the face of the rapidity of climate change. The essay’s aim is to amplify the book’s call for a paradigmatic shift in understanding, maintaining, and retrieving the human capacity for response to climate change. While commenting on the ir- reversible dynamic of climate change and the destructive im- pact of colonial violence on the human capacity to respond to climate change, Petryna offers a way-finding trajectory helping to determine the right route toward durable worlds.
