ABSTRACT

Chapter 7 focuses on developing an immanent ethics of immersive cartography through the figuration of “doing little justices”. Drawing out variations on the concept of immanence in the works of Whitehead and Deleuze, the chapter explores the rippling potentials of minor acts of justice across multiple speciations and temporalities of experience. Pivoting on Whitehead’s notion of “mutual immanence” to articulate the freedom afforded by the immediacy of contemporary events, the chapter works through a series of pedagogical experiments with pre-service teachers exploring the rights and qualities of life for non-human animals, mountains, and rivers. The final sections of the chapter turn to the role of micropolitics in immersive cartography, where an indeterminate and incomplete politics of collective attunement is proposed as a matrix for seeding activist movements in education, philosophy, art, and social inquiry.
