Eco-harmic Worlds: Decoloniality, the Anthropocene, and Buddhist geographies

这一研究将把佛教的批判引入人文地理学。作为首批此类努力之一，它将通过佛教本体论来询问人类世的话语，以调查由行星危机引起的更广泛的机构，关怀，道德和生态责任问题。佛教思想在人文地理学和更广泛的社会科学中是一个分析不足的思想和实践景观。然而，它提供了一个独特的和深刻的生态伦理的角度与重构人类/非人类关系的宪法的重要潜力。通过将佛教思想定位为非殖民地的，并将其与最近的本土和后人文主义地理相结合，这些地理也试图破坏欧洲中心主义，我的项目将探索佛教批评如何帮助人类地理重新认识我们的政治。

This research will bring Buddhist critique into human geography. One of the first such efforts, it will interrogate Anthropocenic discourses via Buddhist ontologies to investigate wider questions of agency, care, ethics and ecological responsibility that arise from planetary crisis. Buddhist thought is a much under-analysed landscape of thought and practice within human geography and the social sciences more generally. Yet, it offers a unique and deeply ecological ethical perspective with important potential for reframing the constitution of human/non-human relationships. By situating Buddhist thought as decolonial, and by aligning it with recent indigenous and post-humanist geographies, which also seek to disrupt Eurocentric anthropocentrism, my project will explore how Buddhist critique can help human geographies reconceive the politics of our more-than-human worlds.
