'Hydrojustice'—Moving Towards Horizontality—with Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos

Andreas and Anna discuss the figuration of 'hydrojustice'—a justice 'always defined in relation to water, the element that constitutes and unites all bodies, human and nonhuman. Hence justice is not an ideal state reached through merely human procedures (legal, political, economic, etc.) but also a planetary one, always conjoined with the element of water that both constitutes and transcends the boundaries of the human. In short, hydrojustice is the just confluence of all bodies, human and nonhuman' (from the book cover). Andreas and Anna flow within wave-reach of the book and beyond, exploring the need to move beyond the obsessive verticality that has led politics, social life, planetary systems and much more, to the present collective inflection point. There need for new imaginaries—ways of imagining 'otherwise'. Here, Andreas and Anna explore a powerful imaginary towards worlds otherwise and for 'staying with the trouble' in ways vital for human ongoingness."Hydrojustice is a poetic weave of water, life and legal theory. More than a political treatise, it is a timely manifesto for how to make a shared home in a world of constant fluctuation."Elizabeth R. Johnson"Hydrojustice invites us to embrace horizontally, to remain fluid in adversity, to be aware of our limits and our possibilities, and to do so without judgment. This is perhaps the only way we can avert the disastrous effects of verticality. The book will be of interest to those engaged in critical theory and the arts. Its poetics and method, its ontology and theory of justice, will inspire new ways of being, being together, assembling, writing, and thinking."e-fluxYou can find the art performance that Andreas mentions here: https://youtu.be/lI_dWNA3qx8?si=LJ0UAaw86hCO-4y4To find out more, visit https://www.youtube.com/@BodyGuru-AGx
