"Edens, Arks and Spaceships: Visions of Whole Earth since the Environmental Revolution” with Sabine Höhler

​The idea of Earth as a unique and fragile container of life came of age in an era shaped by space travel, the Cold War and the rising environmental movement. But how inclusive were expressions of Earth as paradisiacal garden, ark and spaceship in science and fiction? This talk will explore how Whole Earth metaphors and blueprints informed conservationist as well as technocratic solutions for planetary sustainability.
