This short tutorial video is an introduction to the concept of planetarity, touching on theories by key thinkers: Gayatri C. Spivak, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Achille Mbembe and Édouard Glissant. I am focusing on the potential tensions between globe and planet, inviting questions on what planetarity can mean. As an ethics of relationality it asks of us to rethink our relationships - with oneself, each other and the earth - through questioning dominant knowledge frameworks.
