ReplyDeleteHello, Josef,
We hope you are well.
As you may remember, we published your article on bees a few months ago:

We agree that land cannot truly be "owned" -- a capitalist concept to be sure. Have you seen the DVD "Seeds of Change" -- Monsanto is arrogantly trying to "patent" life as well.
The links at the end of your article regarding alternative building/shelters were fascinating. If you will be writing specifically about alternative building structures in the future, we would be interested in an article and pictures.
Thank you for your submission.
Sincerely,
Viktoria Vidali

ReplyDeleteAuthentic forms of relationship with land. (You are invited to expand on this theme.)
I find new paradigms helpful, as obviously you do too. A while back 'superstructure' came to me as a way of defining the totality of human activity on the Earth. It pleased me greatly on many counts. Not the least because it cuts across the instant, the info-overload and what I call 'culture mainframe' - but for which you have far more elegant expressions.
More particularly, using the concept 'superstructure' says it as it is. Helps reinstate the long-ago and the far-future - inspires a more geologically-framed mindset. Psychologically, this can distance us from what is 'in-our-face' all the time - in one simple move. So it's easy, easily accessible. If we have the startpoint of seeing what we have created as merely a SUPERSTRUCTURE built by humans on the Earth, many other aspects - to do with bees, bison, wolves, the land itself - can speak to us more clearly, because we have removed a human-imposed barrier, a delusion. And re-embraced the right relationship - Earth first.
Nice essay on "un-real" estate. I could not agree more. I liked the line that likened owning land to owning star light.
