Historically, nature was understood as a static, eternal backdrop against which human activity unfolded: an immutable category, governed by an eternal and cyclical pattern, lying outside of the civic space of sovereignty, economy and law. Today however, we must understand Nature as a historically situated project. In the era of rapid human-induced climate change, nature is moving at the same speed as human history, racing alongside it, getting entangled and interacting with it in an ever-aggravated feedback loop of cause and effect, with consequences that have spiralled out of control. A large contributor to anthropogenic changes to our environment is conflict. Violence against the environment may be slow, indirect, and diffused but it is enmeshed in colonial and military forms of domination. From the Israeli mass killings in occupied Gaza to a decades-long armed conflict in Colombia nature has been both the cause and the consequence of human conflicts. This entanglement with conflict, defines FA’s approach to environment, and what it refers to as Contemporary Nature.
