about

Bio-Civilization 13:54. This song is dedicated to Freya Mathews. The lyrical content from this song is a reading from Mathews’ essay “Bio-civilization: a Manifesto”. “Bio-¬‐civilization” is here defined by its aim of making civilization, as a social formation, consistent with the repair and ongoing flourishing of the biosphere. Very broadly speaking, this aim might be achieved by either of two approaches. The first would build on the traditional (dualistic) mentality of civilization, maintaining our sense of separation from natural systems but consciously adjusting the impact of social processes on those systems. We might call this, following the nomenclature of deep ecology, the reform approach to bio-civilization. The second, deeper approach would involve a return, in a contemporary setting, to the (non-¬‐dualistic) mentality of hunter-gatherer societies, who identified themselves in terms of their place inside - not outside – natural systems and for whom the protection of natural systems was accordingly a first priority.
