Ecosophy as an ethical mode of existence 1

This chapter aims to work through the Guattarian concept of ‘ecosophy’, not as a philosophical system but as an affective ethos composed from subjective micro-cosmoses (or fragments). It does so by examining the Japanese political and social situation after Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011. It also reconsiders the transformations in Japan after Fukushima as schizophrenic processes by focusing on the subjective escape from the paranoiac machine of scientific-political-economic discourse, in other words, the ‘microfascisms’ of everyday life in Japan.
