‘Climate theories’ are often explained away in scholarship as pseudosciences irrelevant to the modern world, or as morally problematic forms of geographic determinism. This chapter instead argues that such theories still offer a valuable lens not only for understanding how early modern people conceptualized the relationship between human culture and nonhuman nature, but also for resituating ourselves with respect to this very same issue. Are we humans above and outside nature, or are we an integral part of it, caught in its dynamics and affected by its internal changes—including those resulting from our own agency? Three sixteenth-century authors (Le Roy, Bodin, La Framboisière) are here brought into dialogue with contemporary thinkers (Descola, Latour) to reappraise the ‘integrated ecology’ of nature and culture proposed by early modern climate theorists.

The admirers of Jean Bodin’s political philosophy might be surprised by his Demonomanie des sorciers and his forceful attempt to prove the reality of witchcraft. This opposition between the enlightened modern and the superstitious premodern makes his thought a prime example to confront to the theory of modernity proposed by Bruno Latour. This essay attempts such an exploration, and focuses on narratives of treasure seeking in Bodin’s text, to understand the notion of nature that they bespeak, a nature entirely worked through by demons. Looking at Bodin as a premodern also allows us to complicate Latour’s account by highlighting what the resurgence of thinking about witchcraft in late sixteenth-century Europe reveals about a larger argument about Nature, and the ways in which humans should deal with it.

It proposes that, as literary forms, the proverbs share the massively distributed, viscous and non-local qualities of Timothy Morton’s hyperobjects. In Ronsard’s 1572 epic the significance of the aftermath of the Trojan war turns out to have extended far beyond Virgil’s Aeneid and the foundation of Rome, to the foundation of Paris and a yet-to-be-realized early modern French empire. La Franciade’s proverbs challenge their readers to perceive and respond to these vastly expanded relations, even as they progress through apparently local narrative time., On this basis, they might also equip their readers to engage with the dissonant scales of ongoing global ecological crisis.

V. Velázquez
Joachim du Bellay’s Les Antiquitez de Rome (1558) is traditionally read as a text about human-made culture: the grandeur and ruin of Rome. Nevertheless, through a moral condemnation of imperial Rome’s pride and its violent origins, Du Bellay describes the effects Rome’s fall had on the nonhuman landscape, thus inviting a re-evaluation of the relation between humans and nonhuman nature. His juxtaposition of the destructiveness of history’s blindness to nature with the landscape’s re-emergence from the ruined remains of Roman culture yields images that challenge us to rethink conservation in relation to a nature that changes over time, and which is inseparable from culture and its ruins, while at the same time redefining the traditional presupposition of what we categorize as ‘nature writing’.
