Moore's talk at the 2021 Real Abstractions web conference, hosted by Foreign Objekt.\\n\\nIn this talk, Jason W. Moore argues that Man and Nature \\u2013 operationalized through successive Christianizing, Civilizing, and Developmentalist Projects \\u2013 are ruling abstractions constitutive of the capitalist world-ecology. In this light, Man and Nature are not only fundamental epistemological categories, but also instruments of bourgeois hegemony on a world-scale. (Hence, successive world hegemonies shape and are shaped by successive Civilizing Projects, with distinctive renderings of Man and Nature.) In this light, civilizational fetishism \\u2013 embodying an ethos of planetary management \\u2013 appears as the logical and historical precondition for commodity fetishism, not least through the Naturalization of imperialism, racism, and sexism, beginning in the long sixteenth century. Giving special attention to the post-1968 New Environmental Imaginary, Moore shows how the ruling abstraction Nature has been pivotal to the success of neoliberal rule and the climate crisis.\\n\\nLink to the conference page: https://www.foreignobjekt.com/real-abstraction--the-conference\\n\\nBuy Essential Dissent a coffee ($3): https://ko-fi.com/essentialdissent\\n\\nEssential Dissent Online:\\n\\nSubscribe to the iTunes podcast: https://tinyurl.com/yyq9w8sy\\nYouTube:\\u202fhttps://tinyurl.com/yxz8ehks\\nFacebook:\\u202fhttps://tinyurl.com/y64ufjeh\\na-Infos Radio Project:\\u202fhttps://tinyurl.com/y5k6t4ub\\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/e_Dissent"
