We often hear #environmental values talk: "The problem is that people don't value nature," or "Conflicts over climate policy are ultimately about values." Outside of the psychological literature, this values talk is vague/unhelpful. I've tried alternatives this year to broadly communicate #ecotypes—e.g., frameworks, worldviews—reserving my more theorized notion of #imaginaries for fellow scholars. But now I think I'll just call them that. What does "imaginaries" conjure in your mind?

#Atomkraft? Nein Danke! Wir streiten für eine Welt ohne #Atomenergie.
Nuclear power? No thank you! We are fighting for a world without nuclear energy.
@AntiAtomNetzTrier
We, #AntiAtom #AntiAKW moving people from #Trier and the surrounding area, are committed to the decommissioning of all nuclear plants and an ecological #Energiewende (decentralized and democratic, i.e. in the hands of citizens!). We oppose the French repository project #Bure in Lorraine with the resistance house #BureZoneLibre and for the closure of the #AKW #Cattenom. In addition, we support the switch to #Ökostrom|providers without #Atom or #Kohle|corporations as well as to corresponding banks.

Ruha Benjamin: “Most people are forced to live inside someone else’s imagination…misery for some, monopoly for others.”
@hypervisible adds: “we are being forced into ChatGPT’s imagination, except for the fact that it doesn’t have one. It doesn’t know, think, feel, or imagine. Instead, we are being fed a future imagined by the tech’s creators and boosters…” But, as @hypervisible says, it does have a politics.

(5) How explore ideas without idealism? A motley mix of concepts, possibly, but I find #frameworks to complement #ideologies and #imaginaries, esp. so that we might interrogate our own (scholarly) imaginaries/ideological attractors.

Today's Edsall NYT op-ed thoughtful. So, #socialscience, how study the ideas that divide us? His op-ed + my draft talk blending #imaginaries / #ideologies / #frameworks: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/22/opinion/democrats-republicans-education-racial-resentment.html | https://bit.ly/jdpaag23draft

(3) How explore ideas without idealism? Though #imaginaries are rich, I suggest the somewhat out of fashion concept of #ideologies as complementary.
(2)How explore ideas without idealism? One current scholarly answer is #imaginaries. Here are trends in three approaches...the two closer to my use way at bottom :-(.
Hello, Mastodon! Interested in a cross-national #survey comparison of #environmental #imaginaries? We have some draft findings from 2022.
Online presentation in #ESSCA (FR) conference tomorrow: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vTGy2rIvpsD5R_loQt5X7rmIm97cH64ZktVKcipf4_M0eQc1MGKky7RJn6RI1GzchS_4vWcRY15lPEp/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=60000.

I've been here for a couple of weeks so here goes with an introduction. I'm a professor of #anthropology at UCL. I research cultures of climate change, interested mainly in the #infrastructures, #technologies and #imaginaries of climate change and #energy. I also work on the anthropology of #digital technologies and #data. I have done research in #UK #Europe and #Peru. I'm trying very hard not to fly.

Ah. I just now realized (actually read about) that there are no plain word searches, only #hashtags to find similar conversations. As a means to build up some potential conversations, I tend to think about #MediaStudies, #PlatformStudies, #Feminist #PoliticalTheory, #Interfaces, #Wikipedia, #Utopia, #Imaginaries, #InfrastructureStudies
