Beyond Plant Blindness: Seeing the importance of plants for a Sustainable World
- 2020

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Plants are critical to much of life on earth. They provide necessary oxygen and offer shelter and nourishment on multiple scales in diverse habitats. Humans benefit from the existence of plants, and yet we often redact them from our world-view. This is, of course, not true of all humans. In this book, we explore, through cross-disciplinary and art-based research, an alternative to conventional Western approaches to the lives of plants and consider how a more attentive an attuned view might make us more sensitive to 'Life as Plant'. As capitalism and climate change increasingly impact so negatively on the living world, disciplines including art, science and education must work more closely together to shift perceptions and understandings, beyond plant blindness.

Beyond Plant Blindness: Seeing the importance of plants for a sustainable world

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We know that plants are important to humans; and yet, the general awareness of plants appears to be low in many societies (Knapp, 2019). There are probably several reasons for this state of affairs, which have been discussed in papers concerning ‘plant blindness’ (e.g Wandersee & Schussler, 2001; Sanders, 2019b), but the essence of the challenge is in what we perceive as the otherness of plants; many life processes of plants are fundamentally different from ours, which makes it hard to identify with them (Eriksen & Sanders, 2020). Living on a planet in which ‘Plants = Life’ (Galbraith, 2003) means that human societies cannot afford its citizens to be impervious to the importance of plants and conservation issues related to plant extinction. But how might we support those who have become estranged from the contributions plants make to the planet in valuing plants beyond an instrumentalist view, which sees them only as an ever-available and unlimited resource?

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In recent years an interdisciplinary nexus has been generated around what it means to experience life as a plant. From the science of plant behaviours, plant language and meaning-making to plant-based philosophy, plant enquiries are crossing disciplinary and conceptual boundaries. The everyday life of a plant can appear to be static and silent to human perception. And yet, as modern science narratives tell their stories, we are realising that plants live in complex, and often social worlds. Removing plants from the human view makes it easier for us to exploit them and appears accordingly to reduce our ability to see into their worlds. In this research study we ask how, by taking a different view through an interdisciplinary lens, might we improve our understanding and sensitivity to the lives of plants? Thus, our research contributes to policy contexts in which society cannot afford its citizens to be plant blind to contemporary conservation issues.

Bortom ”Plant Blindness”: Att se växternas betydelse för en hållbar värld
- 2019

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- För att elever ska utveckla en förståelse för växters betydelse är det viktigt att lärare kan förmedla kunskap om växter på ett intresseväckande sätt. Vi har använt oss av en teori om växtblindhet för att undersöka vilka kunskaper lärarstudenter har om växter och hur de relaterar till växter. För att göra det lättare för lärarstudenterna att identifiera växter har vi utvecklat specifika undervisningsverktyg. I vår studie spelar botaniska trädgårdar en nyckelroll.

‘Plant Blindness’: Time To Find A Cure.
- 2015

Ingår i: The Biologist. - 0006-3347. ; 62:3

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We must help people see that plants are dynamic, social and vital to life society can no longer afford to view plants as the scenic backdrop to zoological theatre. As biologists, we know plants are essential to the processes underpinning the life support systems of our planet, but this ecological role is often rendered invisible in our fast paced lives. The absence of plants in contemporary life is a problematic social condition, and one that requires urgent attention. We need a radical shift in focus to address ‘plant blindness’ and start shaping plant based narratives that engage human attention towards the important work that plants do.

Art, artistic research and the animal question
- 2008
-
Ingår i: Art Monitor: A Journal of Artistic Research. - 1653-9958. ; :3
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Recent developments in cultural studies and other areas of the humanities and social sciences point to an ‘animal turn’, an increasing interest in posthumanist, non-anthropocentric approaches toward exploring the multiple roles and meanings of animals in human lifeworlds. This paper focuses on areas of contemporary art that place ‘the question of the animal’ centrally and engage in the practice of human-animal boundary work, identity production, and meaning. By addressing a number of animal art projects employing a diversity of visual and material approaches and techniques, from Joseph Beuys’s Coyote (1974) to Eduardo Kac’s GFP Bunny (2000), the paper discusses what it means to reclaim the presence, visibility, and agency of animals in art and artistic research. By the concept of zooësis, artistic space is carved out for human-animal relationalities to be critically interrogated and re-conceptualized, and the ontological security of 'the human' to become disturbed.
