- PublikationWhat on earth is the planetary?(2023) Allen, Jamie; Bolen, Jeremy [in: Anthropocene Curriculum]There are efforts being made, and forced upon us, to grapple with the earth as an entity, object, and force. Under the guise of “planetarity,” these efforts span pursuits in the natural sciences of atmospheres, environments, and geologies, the biologies of living and ecologies of nonliving things, and the human knowledge practices that chart social, geopolitical, logistical, and infrastructural globalism. In their video essay project, “The Impossibility of a Planet,” artists and researchers Jeremy Bolen and Jamie Allen engage in dialogues with those who seek to compose planetary-scale images, thinking, narratives, and models. In a companion essay to the video segments, an inquiry into the media and methods of such compositions provides complement. Where do planetarities come from, and where are they taking us?10 - Elektronische-/ Webpublikation

- PublikationIt All Begins on the Surface(2022) Russell, Catherine; Allen, Jamie [in: Anthropocene Curriculum]It All Begins on the Surface, Being a Sedimentologist in the Anthropocene is a set of discussions transcribed and edited toward an article for the Anthropocene Curriculum materials emerging from the Mississippi. An Anthropocene River, and as part of the extended Temporary continent. project. These generous discussions began as conversations between Dr. Catherine Russell, Anthropocene sedimentologist and US-UK Fulbright-Lloyd’s Visiting Scholar at the University of New Orleans, and Jamie Allen. It all started on a walk, continued on a bus trip, and proceeded through online calls, messaging, and email, including during a pandemic and its lockdowns, for quite a long time—three touching and delicate years of intermittent check-ins paying witness to changing perspectives, sometimes difficult realizations, and the generative magic of discussion between people with rather different perspectives. When the Anthropocene River group witnessed the ongoing transformations taking place along the Mississippi River, it was already clear that we are in a period in which the world will increasingly expect, need, and rely on “answers” from people like Catherine—geologists, geoscientists, geographers, and the like. That is, those wehope can help us make sense of “the Earth,” and, perhaps, how to better be Earthlings.10 - Elektronische-/ Webpublikation
- PublikationUn-/Learning Archives in the Age of the Sixth Extinction(2022) Allen, Jamie; Basu, Priyanka; Becerra Valdez, Tamara; Bolen, Jeremy; Browne, Simon; Cahill, Susan; Hogan, Mél; Rowell, SteveThis workshop will deal with archives as related to overlapping sites of nature/culture, climate change, deep time and the built environment. Is the archive a viable repository of potential regenerative material for the future? Can it be an input in a positive feedback system of mutually assured destruction – an irrational fear response in the face of loss that condemns that which is not-yet-dead to the already-past?06 - Präsentation
- PublikationOf Metabolic Myth(2022) Allen, Jamie [in: Raddar]There are few areas of material culture from which people demand more authenticity, integrity and transparency than the techniques and materialities surrounding food. Foods materialise myths and imaginaries of nature and modernity, and entire regional economies and national cuisines rely on evolved and invented stories about where and how foodstuffs are prepared. At the same time, systems of provenance are challenging to establish, fakes common, and forgery rampant. Cultures and peoples the world over concern themselves with the genuineness of dishes and the pedigree of raw materials and preparations. Governance and policy structures attempt to snare those who wilfully or otherwise commit the deep offence of violating the economic sanctity or highly intimate significance of foods. Food processes are faked, adulterated, contaminated and stigmatised in ways that deeply revolt, pervert and reveal those things about which human beings care most deeply. The myths, materiality, media, systems and infrastructures of food are a metabolic imaginary that links seemingly simple alimentary processes to notions of truth-telling and authenticity. Our culinary techniques and performances of socialisation, story- telling and identity show, yet again, that “truth is a matter of the imagination”.10 - Elektronische-/ Webpublikation

- PublikationThe Impossibility of a Planet(2022) Bolen, Jeremy; Allen, Jamie; Basu, Priyanka; Valdez, Tamara Becerra; Browne, Simone; Cahill, Susan; Hogan, Mél; Rowell, SteveThere are people in the world who are acutely aware of the planet they live on. Due to various and chosen pathways, attentions, vocations, situations or surroundings, these people use or choose the Earth as their frame of reference; the ground from which they think and act is planetary. In the geosciences and natural sciences this includes those who sample and interpolate data all over the globe, or derive large scale models of planet-wide systems. In economics and geopolitics, this includes those who monitor, template and influence things like currencies and economies, trade and shipping, conflict and policy. In the humanities and social sciences it is those who take up topics of the Anthropocene and the technosphere, those whose tendency is to attempt to describe the historical importance and transitions of (our always natural) global histories.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationPlanetary Intimacy(29.11.2021) Allen, Jamie [in: Anthropocene Curriculum]Planetary Intimacy is a contribution to the Anthropocene Curriculum and COURSES platform "On Curricula". The essay text addresses the seemingly opposed notions of distance and proximity with intimacy and planetarity to call for new kinds of intimacy, not closeness global grid but as an interconnected network of locales. Through such an approach, Allen suggests, the multiple distances—in terms of both geography and understanding—at play within the Anthropocene might be better apprehended. Planetary Intimacy features an excerpt of Soot Breath // Corpus Infinitum by Denise Ferreira da Silva & Arjuna Neuman, courtesy of the artists, and links to a COURSES entry on the topic of Distance Learning referencing archival and curricular materials from the Anthropocene Curriculum archives and beyond.10 - Elektronische-/ Webpublikation
- PublikationArchive Earth. Ambiguous Conversations and Conversions(Cantonal and University Library Fribourg, 15.04.2021) Allen, Jamie [in: Roadsides]For the journal Roadsides, Archive Earth is a visual and textual essay that explores Earth as a home, a resource for industry and markets, a repository for traces of conjoined natural and human histories, and a laboratory for the measurement of planetary phenomena. The essay explores the social, cultural and political life of infrastructure through aphoristic text, global fieldwork footages from Chile, Canada, Finland, and elsewhere, and perspectival voices: “I have already said that we think like the world; now I am saying that the world thinks like us”, as Michel Serres wrote in 2017.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift

Written in collaboration with researcher, artist and writer Caroline Sinders, Can Hope be Calculated? is a short essay about the positive potentials of quantification, calculation, and technologies if they can be 'brought down to size' and made graspable. Can Hope be Calculated? was commissioned following a workshop "Trace Carbon" for the March 2020 Art Meets Radical Openness (AMRO) festival.10 - Elektronische-/ Webpublikation
