READING LIST

general orientation

- Keller & Golley, the philosophy of ecology, it is really an interesting general introduction into ecology and environmentalism, and not only defines most of the terms better for me (along 3 different explanations: scientific, political, cultural ecology) but also deals chapter after chapter with the different discussions, contradictions, historical changes, ecology is going through
- guattari, the 3 ecologies, I am still very critical of it but after taking it up again I see the original and interesting approach for the arts g. is putting down here, still cannot follow too well his psychiatric rants, but in essence it remains a remarkable and very inspiring text
- niklas luhman, obserevations on modernism, with the famous last chapter ignorance of ecology
