Frédéric Neyrat, « The planetary experience », Multitudes, ID : 10670/1.d691bb...
This article defines the planetary experience as the moment during which we feel, think, or imagine the rather destabilizing difference between being only terrestrial—being situated and acting on Earth with a specific body, in the midst of social and ecological relations—and being also planetary, subject to the cosmos, wandering like a planet, always in a state of deterritorialization, delocalization, and boundary overflow. The planetary experience is what happens when, from the interiority of our terrestrial situation, we feel our planetary condition: a cosmological excess irreducible to our local, social, ecological and geological incarnation.
