Abstract
To nurture and protect even small fragments of liveability, we must get to know the lives of others, human and nonhuman. The Anthropocene collates projects of erasure, and we forget that we need companions. What might it take to bring us back into remembrance? I use the word ‘attunement’ in this essay to refer to attempts to get to know, through alignment, how others express themselves in the world. I'm particularly interested in forms of alignment that refuse Cartesian dreams of minds in contact.
