'Geotrauma and the Eco-clinic: Nature, Violence, and Ideology.' (original) (raw)

The paper presents an analytical perspective on the intersection of ecological thinking and theories of violence, arguing that conventional views of nature typically frame it as an object of human violence, which oversimplifies the complexities involved. It explores the socio-economic dimensions of environmental degradation, emphasizing that ecological issues are deeply entwined with human conflict and political structures. By focusing on the violence inherent in ecological relationships, the authors propose a new framework—termed 'geotrauma'—that encourages a reevaluation of our understanding of subjectivity and the environment's role in generating thought.
