Loving a Place That Is Dying
Original language description
After introducing the intertwining of love and grief in human experience, I present my existentially laden enactive account of loving a place that is dying. By digging deeper into the tensions in attending to a place that is dying, I depict environmental grief as an experience of “existential groundlessness”. I focus on it as a temporally extended affective experience of progressive abandonment. By drawing on Matthew Ratcliffe’s theory of grief (Ratcliffe 2022), I argue that although a feeling of displacement and identity crisis can emerge out of loving a place that is dying, affectively charged processes of sense- making are still ongoing. This is what I call grieving sense- making. I argue that this is precisely what love can do in grief: pushing to find new meanings, not as moving on but as an affective commitment to life despite the circumstances. This is because not only is grief a continuation of love; but love is also a continuation of grief. In this, hope can unfold. I conclude by stressing the ethical and political significance of environmental grief in localised yet networked environmental actions within the framework of transgenerational environmental responsibility.
