ABSTRACT

This chapter outlines decolonizing, resacralizing, and transfiguring landscapes that may help to redirect believer’s imagination toward an alternative common future and a world home. It highlights the perception, imagination, and expression of the all-embracing and intrinsic power of "the space where I am" as a source for reenvisioning images of ourselves in nature, modes of thinking, and practices within nature. The chapter suggests that creating an integrated aesth/ethics. The concept of "aesth/ethics" brings aesthetics to the forefront of ethics. "Aesthetics" is understood not as a theory of beauty in the narrow philosophical sense but as a discursive and artistic production and reflection of practices and discourses on synaesthetic perception, creation, and reception. The notion of "decolonization" is developed in postcolonial discourse in which indigenous people, and those in solidarity with them, reflect on their identity—culturally as well as in regard to environmental connections—amid a long history of colonization to devise potential ways out of this oppressed state of being.
