Introduction to comparative planetology

More about the book

The publication 'Introduction to Comparative Planetology' by Lukáš Likavčan presents an intertwined analysis of visual cultures of imagining the Earth and geopolitcs of climate emergency.It compares different 'figures' of the planet - teh Planetary, the Globe, the Terrestrial, Earth-without-us and Spectral Earth - in order to access their geopolitical implications. These implications are then mapped on respective prospects of these figures in developing an infrastructural space for planetary coordination of our design interventions against runaway global heating, and ultimately against mass specis extinction.
