“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Hauntology in Ecology without Nature

...I know, it's a thing, derived from Derrida's ever-punning pronunciation of “ontology” in Specters of Marx, a lecture I was at (at NYU, at a conference way back when).

The nice hauntological staff have excerpted part of my first explicitly ecological book and it's nice to read it!
