Content:
Lifeworlds, originally discussed by Husserl and developed by Schütz, are the whole grounds of our ways of sustaining life in communities. Intensified loss of Lifeworlds has lead to Deathworlds researchers from around the world engaging in phenomenological writing to expand their awareness of experiences of significance in their lives. They connected via face-to-face communication and computer platforms. Recognizing and sharing emotional challenges, participants revealed Deathworlds within their Lifeworlds (traumatic echoes of war, genocide, oppression), and practices that contribute to illness, community decline, and climate change. Participants and researchers collaborated on chapters including: grief, death, addiction, environmental devastations, suicidal veterans, impacts of disasters, homelessness and Deathworld politics. The participants developed reflective qualities of being such as open-mindedness, sense of "wonder" and embodied awareness.

These are among the Ten Qualities of Phenomenologists discovered from prior research. Deathworlds to Lifeworlds will appeal to those looking for practical ways to expand consciousness, and promote collaboration for social and environmental justice. "Deathworlds to Lifeworlds wakes people up to how current economic and social forces are destroying life and communities on our planet, as I have mapped in my work. The chapters by scholars around the world in this powerful book testify to the pervasive consequences of the proliferation of Deathworld-making and ways that collaboration across cultures can help move us forward." -Saskia Sassen, Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology at Columbia University and member of its Committee on Global Thought. She is the author of Expulsions, Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy, was elected to the Royal Academy of the Sciences of the Netherlands, and has been made a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres by the French government.

"Recognizing the inseparability of experience, consciousness, environment, and problematics in rebalancing life systems, this book offers solutions from around the world." -Four Arrows, aka Don Trent Jacobs, author of Sitting Bull's Words For A World in Crises, et al. "Deathworlds is a love letter for the planet-our home. By documenting places that no longer sustain life, the authors collectively pull back the curtain on these places, rendering them meaningful by connecting what ails us with what ails the world. They offer powerful stories and ways to take action to re-create life affirming societies and practices." -Katrina S.
