BellingenNSW<p>HOME UNSETTLED</p><p>Settlers are detached from the land and mostly mistake "Little boxes made of ticky tacky" as 'home.' But now<br>"Climate change is forcing us to rethink our sense of ‘home’ – and what it means to lose it."</p><p>Val Plumwood ... "argues that, under capitalism, the idea of personal belonging to a particular place or dwelling is often framed as being more important than many other vital attachments to place, such as connection to land. She uses the term “shadow places” to describe the ecosystems we exclude and exploit – including our forests and waterways – even though they are fundamental to our existence. These places provide essential labour, nourishment and the conditions we need to survive and flourish. For Plumwood, an expanded sense of “home” would encompass the broader ecological context we exist within."</p><p>" Indigenous Australian law scholar Irene Watson explains colonisers were already alienated from a sense of connection to land when they came to “Australia”. This disconnection led them to plunder the land, treating it as a commodity rather than a living, complex ecosystem that nurtures and is nurtured by First Nations peoples."<br>>><br><a href="https://theconversation.com/climate-change-is-forcing-us-to-rethink-our-sense-of-home-and-what-it-means-to-lose-it-247234" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/climate-ch</span><span class="invisible">ange-is-forcing-us-to-rethink-our-sense-of-home-and-what-it-means-to-lose-it-247234</span></a></p><p>Malvina Reynolds -
