On "Mesoeconomy of Fire"

Vast zones of the American West are becoming what professionals call ‘Uninsurable Risk Environments’. Private carriers leave as their handsome margins dwindle, while public bodies and rugged individuals scramble to pick up the pieces.

In the aftermath of fire, one would expect to see emergent ways of building, managing, and harmonizing life with the reality of fire ecology. But the evolution is sluggish, painting a picture of regional economies anesthetized to real risk by perverse incentives. by @realrvw

Many thanks for the shout out to our evaporative cooling experiments in Athens to @jamesbridle and @j_self in the new issue of @realrvw .. many other moments I also enjoyed and empathise with in their short dialogue piece on ‘left-wing prepping’. Basically for me, how to still think and act when what Gregory Bateson described as the wider eco-mental systems of our world are driven ever more insane… by @realrvw

Climate Migration and Sovereignty beyond the state

Thursday, July 23rd, at 6:30pm: Join @realreview at the @van_alen for a talk by Keller Easterling (Real Review #3 and #11) and moderated by @noah_gotlib (Real Review #17 and curator of ‘Crumbling Land’, on display at @citygroupnyc until August 1st). RSVP at link in bio or tally.so/r/lb1Meo

From vast populations traversing continents to communities moving uphill, climate migration is an inflection point which will produce new forms of urbanity, political economy, and sovereignty. Join Keller and Noah to hear about how climate migration will transform property, sovereignty, and urbanization in North America and beyond.

Keller Easterling is an architect, writer, and the Enid Storm Dwyer Professor of Architecture at Yale University. Her books include Medium Design: Knowing How To Work on the World (Verso, 2021), Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space (Verso, 2014), and Subtraction (Sternberg, 2014), which considers building removal or how to put the development machine into reverse.

Noah Gotlib is a designer and researcher studying climate migration practices in the United States and Canada. An exhibition of his work on the topic, Crumbling Land, is on display at the Citygroup gallery in New York. Learn more about Crumbling Land in Real Review 17 at real-review.org
