Abstract
- In the present geological epoch of the Anthropocene, the question increasingly arises of how to encounter the human-made planetary environment, which increasingly suggests being both a traumatized and traumatizing entity. For this endeavor, Bracha L. Ettinger's matrixial theory offers an important reference point beyond prevailing environmental discourses and the notion of nature as total otherness. Lifting the split between the I and the Other, conceived through a "co-lapse of the gaze" and the praxis of "gazing-with," this paper explores the radical rethinking of humans and nature as entangled in a psycho-planetary continuum and a shared unconscious sphere. Introducing such trans-subjective and trans-objective dynamics, aimed at unfolding a fragile and carrying relationship between humans and nature, the paper expands the Freudian psychic apparatus toward a mountainous psychic topography and draws, for the first time, the outlines of an Ettingerian environmental ethics.
