dc.description.abstractIf climate change can be used as an accurate metaphor for our ecopolitical situation, theory has to evolve vis-à-vis this frightening situation. But in which sense? Does it mean that we have to become paranoiac? Does it mean that, like in Take shelter, a 2011 film of Jeff Nichols, it’s not possible any more to differentiate between paranoia and a lucid approach of reality? Current politics could be defined through their relations with time: they try to prevent catastrophes through the calculation of risks. But what sort of risks? Real or imaginary ones? In order to answer these questions, theory has to undergo a climate turn. Biography Frédéric Neyrat is a philosopher.
