The experience of lockdown is as taxing on an individual level as it is on a communal one. Nations, just like individual people, are all looking for a way to emerge safely from quarantine in hopes of returning as soon as they can to a previous state of “normalcy” by “reopening” as fast as they can.
But there is another lesson to be learned from these ordeals, at least for those we might term Terrestrials. A realization seems to be dawning on such people: that there will be no emerging from lockdown, especially since the health crisis is embedded in yet another crisis, one far more severe. What Terrestrials see, instead, is a chance: at long last, to understand the world around them, the ground that will swallow them up—that is, if they are unable to change! Where Am I? is a logical sequel to Latour’s previous work Down to Earth: Politics in the New Climatic Regime.
Once they have landed—sometimes violently—the Terrestrials next task is to explore the landscape they will now inhabit. How to help them? This essay seeks to do so in a series of short chapters. After Facing Gaia, these two books paint an ever-clearer portrait of the New Climatic Regime.
