Air, breath and life

The enmeshment of compounding elements of airspace insecurity including aerial warfare, climate change, nuclearism, environmental toxicity and state violence urgently requires airspace security as a new human right. Since today’s digital media are central in shaping the psychic impact of airspace insecurity, I argue that we also need a new digital media ecology that includes the analysis of and response to the wide range of traumatic effects, individual and collective, physical and psychological of airspace insecurity. I consider how the proposed new human right to live without physical or psychological threat (Grief, 2022) from above is a crucial step in developing a larger ecology of resistance that must be transnational, transspecies and transgenerational.
