Highlighting the ways in which climate change operates as an incredible affective and material force of colonial power, Colonial Climates: Indigenous Futures Beyond the Human, tracks the human in both manifestations of anthropocentric colonial Enlightenment thought and anthropogenic environmental degradation. At the same time, this project examines how Indigenous ontologies of intercorporeality between humans and non-humans, as expressed in Indigenous Pacific environmental activist performance and other cultural production, pinpoint crucial forms of sociality that are vital to addressing climate change and its effects.
