I've filmed an episode of Jockonary about Ronnie Browne's book That Guy Fae the Corries. It goes live on YouTube at 12.45 today:

It's got some stories about Flower of Scotland, the theft of the combolins, and so on.

The Corries put out some great music and I think they did an admirable job keeping a part of Scottish culture alive.

Walcott's epic poem of St. Lucia, but also of postcolonial culture, Homeric epics, the Revolutionary War, American Western expansion, language and art, aging, tourist economies, and a host of other layers is both poem and dream-state, compelling story and unnerving memory.

'Europe’s narrative is constructed on the exclusion of colonialism from its history, allowing the ideology of Europe’s racelessness. […] The disremembering of the colonial past shapes the contemporary perception of Europe as a progressive well-intentioned neutral mediator. Moreover, this colonial amnesia produces Europeans of color as outsiders and “aliens” threatening to the liberal continent’s identity.'

'Thus, racialized Europeans are forever “just arriving” and forgotten in the construction of a contemporary European identity. The book gives examples of continent’s Roma and Sinti populations who have resided in Europe for half a millennium and are constantly marginalized as foreigners.'

I've been dipping into "Lost Souls", a volume of short stories by Hwang Sunwon.

One that has particularly caught my attention is "Booze", written in 1945.

Following the August 15th liberation of Korea from Japanese rule, the Nakamura distillery is to be taken over by Koreans. Which Koreans though? As we follow the head clerk Chunho's attempts to manage the takeover, his household, and himself, we see a decent individual struggling with challenges going way beyond a change of name for the distillery.

"Booze" not only absorbed me in its narrative but also made me think about both decolonization and writing about decolonization.

An excerpt from: The ‘#degrowth’ movement envisions global #ClimateJustice, but must adapt to #GlobalSouth realities

Published: February 6, 2025
by Claudius Gräbner-Radkowitsch and Birte Strunk

What about the global south?

"Today, many degrowth advocates assert that the richer countries of the global north, being largely responsible for environmental degradation, should be the ones to scale back economic activity to avert ecological catastrophe. But what about the poorer countries of the global south? Should they adopt degrowth strategies? Some argue this would impose a #neocolonial agenda, with wealthier countries once again dictating the terms of global development. Others note that many poorer countries need economic growth to combat poverty. And even if degrowth were limited to the north, it could still have significant effects on the south – both positive and negative.

"A review of academic literature on degrowth and the global south reveals two main perspectives: those who see degrowth as incompatible with the south’s development needs, and those who believe it could offer synergies with sustainable development goals.

"Supporters of degrowth often point out that many of its core ideas originate in the global south. Anthropologist Jason Hickel cites figures such as Sri Lankan philosopher #AnandaCoomaraswamy, Indian economist #JCKumarappa and Bengali poet #RabindranathTagore as inspirations. While these thinkers may not use the term 'degrowth', they promote ideas aligned with it, such as the Latin American #SumakKawsay (or “#BuenVivir”) or the South African #Ubuntu. These non-Western perspectives have been instrumental in shaping the degrowth discourse in the global north.

Degrowth as decolonisation

"Degrowth advocates argue that scaling back economic activity in the north could help dismantle the unequal global division of labour, in which raw materials are extracted from the south and processed into consumer goods in the north. This system disproportionately benefits wealthier nations while leaving poorer countries with the social and #environmental costs.

"#FedericoDemaria, a researcher in political ecology, argues that northern countries must 'pay for past and present #colonial #exploitation in the south' – a central theme in contemporary degrowth discourse.

"Some researchers suggest that dependence on economic growth is problematic for both the north and south. They argue that growth alone does not guarantee poverty reduction – wealth distribution and institutional reforms are just as crucial. Degrowth could help both regions avoid #unsustainable development models by focusing more on social well-being than perpetual economic expansion."

"Our mother aches
Iron claws dig until she breaks
And she bleeds for this
How much is enough?

I remember listening to songs of the sun
For all those, who’s breath was stolen
Who’s future was taken away
Who learned too late

CHORUS:
And so we sing again
To the house of dawn
There are no words, no words that can right these wrongs.

This land breathes pain
And nothing grows
that doesn’t carry the trauma
that we’ve wept, that you sow…

CHORUS

this empire of blood and bones
of stolen, poisoned, homes…
genocide… mutilated ghosts…

fierce hearts lay buried… their struggle speaks…
fierce hearts lay buried… saying…
“leave it in the ground…”

While the mines lay abandoned – What has been done?
Wells poisoned… nothing has been done?
Cancers spread… tell me, what has been done?
To right these wrongs! To right these wrongs!

CHORUS

deafening the screams
grinding down the gears
you can’t hear them cause your window is closed
and you’ve surrendered your power to your fears

There’s a market for everything…
social media exists
so you keep on consuming…
it’s revolutionary chic and at least you “liked” and shared…
for liberation…oh what a loaded word…
and you’ve marched quietly along
and you’ve marched so complacently along

one brutal violent machine pressing against another (3x)
crushing all our dreams, and all we desire
the price is paid in blood and we know what its worth…
the price is paid in blood…
capitalism is the enemy…of mother earth. (2x)

deafening the screams
grinding down the gears
you can’t hear them cause your window closed
and you’ve surrendered your power to your fears

one brutal violent machine pressing against another
you’ve surrendered your power to your fears
one brutal violent machine pressing against another
you’ve surrendered your power to your fears

I will hold your hand
At the edge of this world
As we watch it burn to the ground

I will hold your hand
At the edge of the dawn
And laugh and wonder at the new days we’ve found

they will not suffocate this fire
it burns from our hearts
so long as we hold this inside
they can never take this from us

how much can you take?
how much can you give?
there is no post-apocalyptic
oh this is it

how much can we bleed?
till were up off our knees?
there’s no post-colonial, we live it

they will not suffocate this fire
it burns from our hearts
so long as we hold this inside
they can never take this from us

if this is our grave
such a wondrous bed we’ve been made
only so much we can bleed
so much more than we’d ever need

I will hold your hand
At the edge of this world
As we watch it burn to the ground.

Peabody‘s drag lines across the landscape
like militarized borders that carve this police state
1974 government pens wrote, “relocate”
divide and conquer, 14,000 and today?

We know this nightmare because it repeats
’till something breaks
An act of liberation

Yes we all know it’s the rich against the poor
class, race, gender, and mother earth just a resource
globalization is colonization and colonization is always war…

We know this nightmare because it repeats
’till something breaks
An act of liberation!

Industrial capitalist hetero-patriarchy
We know the story of so many manifested destinies
From the broken bones of broken homes and violated boarding school dreams

We know this nightmare because it repeats
’till something breaks
An act of liberation!

From Big Mountain to Palestine, relocation is genocide.
We stand against all wars and occupation
Against nationalism, against state sponsored terrorism

the free market non-profit industry
accountable to foundations no not community
paychecks for activism, for justice or just them?
But this ain’t no revolutionary commodity…
It’s an act of liberation

An act of liberation!

it’s only a matter of time
it’s only a question, an affirmation
of who we are and who we’ve have been

reconnect the dots
trace back the memories
its only a matter of time
until our words match our actions

CHORUS:
these laws, these borders, these walls, will fall
it’s only a matter of time, it’s only a matter of action

How much can we pretend,
that we’re not complicit in our silence?
how much longer, until these times get so desperate?

the beating in our hearts
a rhythm we can’t shut out
calling us to action, call us to action…

CHORUS

its a matter of action.

these are desperate times calling for desperate measures
these are desperate times calling for desperate action

its a matter of action.

Time for action

Following paths
so many ways to wander
so many ways I’ve wondered
always the question biting at my heel
sometimes its too much to feel

open hearts bleed
strong hearts deceived
where were you in this time of need?

following paths so many ways to take it on
so many ways we’ve lost
always the question expressing the real
sometimes its too much to feel

open hearts bleed strong hearts deceive
where were you in this time of need?
where were you?

your shadow still cast
all that we lived past
your words still linger
if we could peel back the time
uncover the wounds so they can really heal

sometimes its too much to feel

open hearts bleed strong hearts deceive
where were you in this time of need?
where were you?"

As we watch it burn to the ground.

Peabody‘s drag lines across the landscape
like militarized borders that carve this police state
1974 government pens wrote, “relocate”
divide and conquer, 14,000 and today?

We know this nightmare because it repeats
’till something breaks
An act of liberation

Yes we all know it’s the rich against the poor
class, race, gender, and mother earth just a resource
globalization is colonization and colonization is always war…

We know this nightmare because it repeats
’till something breaks
An act of liberation!

Industrial capitalist hetero-patriarchy
We know the story of so many manifested destinies
From the broken bones of broken homes and violated boarding school dreams

We know this nightmare because it repeats
’till something breaks
An act of liberation!

From Big Mountain to Palestine, relocation is genocide.
We stand against all wars and occupation
Against nationalism, against state sponsored terrorism

the free market non-profit industry
accountable to foundations no not community
paychecks for activism, for justice or just them?
But this ain’t no revolutionary commodity…
It’s an act of liberation

An act of liberation!

it’s only a matter of time
it’s only a question, an affirmation
of who we are and who we’ve have been

reconnect the dots
trace back the memories
its only a matter of time
until our words match our actions

CHORUS:
these laws, these borders, these walls, will fall
it’s only a matter of time, it’s only a matter of action

How much can we pretend,
that we’re not complicit in our silence?
how much longer, until these times get so desperate?

the beating in our hearts
a rhythm we can’t shut out
calling us to action, call us to action…

CHORUS

its a matter of action.

these are desperate times calling for desperate measures
these are desperate times calling for desperate action

its a matter of action.

Time for action

Following paths
so many ways to wander
so many ways I’ve wondered
always the question biting at my heel
sometimes its too much to feel

open hearts bleed
strong hearts deceived
where were you in this time of need?

following paths so many ways to take it on
so many ways we’ve lost
always the question expressing the real
sometimes its too much to feel

open hearts bleed strong hearts deceive
where were you in this time of need?
where were you?

your shadow still cast
all that we lived past
your words still linger
if we could peel back the time
uncover the wounds so they can really heal

sometimes its too much to feel

open hearts bleed strong hearts deceive
where were you in this time of need?
where were you?"

"Our mother aches
Iron claws dig until she breaks
And she bleeds for this
How much is enough?

I remember listening to songs of the sun
For all those, who’s breath was stolen
Who’s future was taken away
Who learned too late

CHORUS:
And so we sing again
To the house of dawn
There are no words, no words that can right these wrongs.

This land breathes pain
And nothing grows
that doesn’t carry the trauma
that we’ve wept, that you sow…

CHORUS

this empire of blood and bones
of stolen, poisoned, homes…
genocide… mutilated ghosts…

fierce hearts lay buried… their struggle speaks…
fierce hearts lay buried… saying…
“leave it in the ground…”

While the mines lay abandoned – What has been done?
Wells poisoned… nothing has been done?
Cancers spread… tell me, what has been done?
To right these wrongs! To right these wrongs!

CHORUS

deafening the screams
grinding down the gears
you can’t hear them cause your window is closed
and you’ve surrendered your power to your fears

There’s a market for everything…
social media exists
so you keep on consuming…
it’s revolutionary chic and at least you “liked” and shared…
for liberation…oh what a loaded word…
and you’ve marched quietly along
and you’ve marched so complacently along

one brutal violent machine pressing against another (3x)
crushing all our dreams, and all we desire
the price is paid in blood and we know what its worth…
the price is paid in blood…
capitalism is the enemy…of mother earth. (2x)

deafening the screams
grinding down the gears
you can’t hear them cause your window closed
and you’ve surrendered your power to your fears

one brutal violent machine pressing against another
you’ve surrendered your power to your fears
one brutal violent machine pressing against another
you’ve surrendered your power to your fears

I will hold your hand
At the edge of this world
As we watch it burn to the ground

I will hold your hand
At the edge of the dawn
And laugh and wonder at the new days we’ve found

they will not suffocate this fire
it burns from our hearts
so long as we hold this inside
they can never take this from us

how much can you take?
how much can you give?
there is no post-apocalyptic
oh this is it

how much can we bleed?
till were up off our knees?
there’s no post-colonial, we live it

they will not suffocate this fire
it burns from our hearts
so long as we hold this inside
they can never take this from us

if this is our grave
such a wondrous bed we’ve been made
only so much we can bleed
so much more than we’d ever need

I will hold your hand
At the edge of this world
As we watch it burn to the ground.

#Solarpunk and #Indigenous Perspectives: A Call for Community and #NatureBased Approaches

Incorporating Indigenous perspectives and traditional ecological knowledge into Solarpunk can promote a more community and nature-based approach to #sustainability and #RenewableEnergy, and address key social and #environmental challenges in an ethical and just way.

by Mediocre-Horse-2350, 2022

"Solarpunk is a cultural movement that envisions a positive future where sustainability and renewable energy are at the forefront of society, and social structures are reimagined to create a more equitable and just world. But Solarpunk has yet to fully incorporate Indigenous perspectives and ways of knowing, despite their potential to contribute valuable insights and solutions to contemporary environmental and political challenges. This essay will explore the benefits of incorporating Indigenous perspectives into Solarpunk, explain how this can shift our focus towards a more community and nature-based approach, and address key problems in modern society.

"Indigenous perspectives on nature differ greatly from Western perspectives, which often view humans as separate from and above nature. In contrast, a lot of Indigenous worldviews typically understand humans as equal to and a part of the natural world. This perspective emphasizes the importance of community and connection to the environment and recognizes the interdependence of all living beings. Incorporating these perspectives into Solarpunk can help shift the focus away from individualistic and exploitative approaches to the environment and towards a more community-based and regenerative approach.

"One way in which Solarpunk can incorporate Indigenous perspectives is through the use of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). TEK encompasses Indigenous knowledge and practices related to ecological management and can offer valuable insights into sustainable and regenerative practices.

"For example, traditional land management practices such as prescribed burning have been shown to reduce the risk of wildfires and promote biodiversity. Incorporating TEK into Solarpunk can lead to more effective and holistic approaches to sustainability and renewable energy. (Here is an example of traditional land management through prescribed burning, which has been used for thousands of years by Indigenous communities.)

"Another way in which Solarpunk can benefit from Indigenous perspectives is through the recognition of Indigenous sovereignty and land rights. Indigenous communities have often been at the forefront of environmental and social justice movements, fighting for their right to self-determination and protection of their land and resources. Incorporating these struggles and perspectives into Solarpunk can promote a more just and equitable society, where Indigenous communities are recognized and respected.

"Incorporating Indigenous perspectives into not Solarpunk not only enriches the genre, but also offers a new way of looking at our relationship with the natural world. By acknowledging the inherent value of nature and the interconnectedness of all living beings, we can begin to shift away from the exploitative mindset that has led to so many of the ecological and social problems we face today. This approach aligns with Indigenous ways of knowing, which recognize that humans are not separate from nature, but rather a part of it. By centering community and nature-based approaches in Solarpunk, we can address key problems such as climate change, environmental degradation, social inequality, and colonialism, and move towards a more sustainable and just future.

"One potential challenge in incorporating Indigenous perspectives into Solarpunk is the risk of cultural appropriation and tokenization. It is important to acknowledge and respect the sovereignty and agency of Indigenous communities and not simply use their perspectives and knowledge for the benefit of non-indigenous individuals or groups. This means engaging in meaningful and respectful collaboration with Indigenous communities, listening to their perspectives, and ensuring that they have agency and control over how their knowledge is used and shared. By centering Indigenous sovereignty and respecting Indigenous knowledge, Solarpunk can move towards a more ethical and just approach to sustainability and renewable energy.

"In conclusion, incorporating Indigenous perspectives into Solarpunk can lead to a more holistic and community-based approach to sustainability and renewable energy. By recognizing the importance of community and connection to the environment, and incorporating traditional ecological knowledge and Indigenous sovereignty, Solarpunk can offer solutions to contemporary and environmental and social challenges. By promoting collective well-being and prioritizing regenerative practices, Solarpunk can lead us towards a more equitable and just future."

"Solarpunk is a cultural movement that envisions a positive future where sustainability and renewable energy are at the forefront of society, and social structures are reimagined to create a more equitable and just world. But Solarpunk has yet to fully incorporate Indigenous perspectives and ways of knowing, despite their potential to contribute valuable insights and solutions to contemporary environmental and political challenges. This essay will explore the benefits of incorporating Indigenous perspectives into Solarpunk, explain how this can shift our focus towards a more community and nature-based approach, and address key problems in modern society.

"Indigenous perspectives on nature differ greatly from Western perspectives, which often view humans as separate from and above nature. In contrast, a lot of Indigenous worldviews typically understand humans as equal to and a part of the natural world. This perspective emphasizes the importance of community and connection to the environment and recognizes the interdependence of all living beings. Incorporating these perspectives into Solarpunk can help shift the focus away from individualistic and exploitative approaches to the environment and towards a more community-based and regenerative approach.

"One way in which Solarpunk can incorporate Indigenous perspectives is through the use of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). TEK encompasses Indigenous knowledge and practices related to ecological management and can offer valuable insights into sustainable and regenerative practices.

"For example, traditional land management practices such as prescribed burning have been shown to reduce the risk of wildfires and promote biodiversity. Incorporating TEK into Solarpunk can lead to more effective and holistic approaches to sustainability and renewable energy. (Here is an example of traditional land management through prescribed burning, which has been used for thousands of years by Indigenous communities.)

"Another way in which Solarpunk can benefit from Indigenous perspectives is through the recognition of Indigenous sovereignty and land rights. Indigenous communities have often been at the forefront of environmental and social justice movements, fighting for their right to self-determination and protection of their land and resources. Incorporating these struggles and perspectives into Solarpunk can promote a more just and equitable society, where Indigenous communities are recognized and respected.

"Incorporating Indigenous perspectives into not Solarpunk not only enriches the genre, but also offers a new way of looking at our relationship with the natural world. By acknowledging the inherent value of nature and the interconnectedness of all living beings, we can begin to shift away from the exploitative mindset that has led to so many of the ecological and social problems we face today. This approach aligns with Indigenous ways of knowing, which recognize that humans are not separate from nature, but rather a part of it. By centering community and nature-based approaches in Solarpunk, we can address key problems such as climate change, environmental degradation, social inequality, and colonialism, and move towards a more sustainable and just future.

"One potential challenge in incorporating Indigenous perspectives into Solarpunk is the risk of cultural appropriation and tokenization. It is important to acknowledge and respect the sovereignty and agency of Indigenous communities and not simply use their perspectives and knowledge for the benefit of non-indigenous individuals or groups. This means engaging in meaningful and respectful collaboration with Indigenous communities, listening to their perspectives, and ensuring that they have agency and control over how their knowledge is used and shared. By centering Indigenous sovereignty and respecting Indigenous knowledge, Solarpunk can move towards a more ethical and just approach to sustainability and renewable energy.

"In conclusion, incorporating Indigenous perspectives into Solarpunk can lead to a more holistic and community-based approach to sustainability and renewable energy. By recognizing the importance of community and connection to the environment, and incorporating traditional ecological knowledge and Indigenous sovereignty, Solarpunk can offer solutions to contemporary and environmental and social challenges. By promoting collective well-being and prioritizing regenerative practices, Solarpunk can lead us towards a more equitable and just future."

The diversity of #modernities that can be observed in our world is linked to the claim of living in a global #modernity, in a world society. The book underpins this claim with numerous excursions into Islamic history. It criticises the view that #modernisation can be equated with westernisation and considers different projects of specifically Islamic modernities as integral parts of world society.

From this perspective, the study contributes to the "provincialisation" of European history in contemporary social scientific thought. Contrary to the theories of #postcolonialism associated with the call for the provincialisation of Europe, however, this book adheres to essential traditions of classical sociology. It thus aims to make a contribution to the social theoretical discussion on modernity.
