The Clark – Like Trees with Jonathan Flatley
In this Research and Academic Program lecture, Jonathan Flatley (Wayne State University / Clark/Oakley Humanities Fellow) discusses liking trees. He argues that liking (as distinct from love) is a feeling capable of motivating collective opposition to the ongoing, massive, catastrophic destruction of forests. It makes that case through an examination of two distinct projects: Richard Powers’ novel The Overstory (2018) and Zoe Leonard’s photographs of trees that have grown into, around, or through fences.
