Elemental Commons: Pyropolitics and the Governance of the Flammable
This panel discussion explores pyropolitics as a critical lens for understanding how the management and manifestation of fire shape contemporary sovereign power and social space. As ‘we’ unevenly navigate the "Pyrocene," the panel seeks to theorise fire not merely as a geophysical hazard, but as a fundamental logic of territorial control, colonialism, and struggle in a heating world. Through diverse geographical scales, we aim to map how flames can both exert power and make possible resistance.
