In an era when humanity is losing its dignity, how can we preserve our self-respect?We need a new guiding principle to help us face up to the planetary crisis. The old model of continuous economic growth, driven by greed, envy, and the pursuit of dominance, is leading us into global catastrophe. There are many reasons why, but the most obvious is the close correlation between economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions.We need to be honest with ourselvesRealistically, our options are already limited to damage control and intelligent disaster management. Intellectual integrity, compassion, and a particular kind of inner awareness are urgently needed to cultivate mental and political resilience. The concept of a "culture of consciousness" is the starting point for a new debate. We need more compassion and radical self-respectFor more than thirty years, we have been failing with our eyes wide open. In addition to our lack of self-respect and our lack of compassion for future generations, a lack of cultural creativity has been one of the main causes of the looming climate crisis: we have been unable to leave the old values behind and create alternative ways of living.But replacing old values with new ways of life is precisely what is needed to create a cultural context that will let us exit the growth model. We need a culture of consciousness that works at both the individual and the societal levels. This book offers a path towards it. We need a radical new culture of consciousness"Many of us have little compassion and no respect for the people and other sentient beings who will inhabit this planet after us. As a result, we will soon no longer be able to take ourselves seriously as rational beings, because for decades we have deliberately ignored empirical facts and organised our own self-deception at the political level. The climate catastrophe will therefore also lead us to recognise ourselves as a failing species, and the loss of our dignity will result in a historically unprecedented kind of suffering. We need a radical new Bewusstseinskultur." Thomas Metzinger

Annah, Infinite turns dominant narratives of Paul Gauguins famous painting Annah la Javanaise (c. 1893-94) on its head. The work argues a simple point: there is the possibility that the portrait is a depiction of a pained child. In highlighting the plausibility of this particular scenario in light of how contradictory facts surrounding Annahs life have been assembled in historical narratives, the work draws attention to how ablenormativity functions within arts institutions to mask colonial abuses. Taking a closer look at the ways in which Annah la Javanaise, with its attendant mythologies of Annah the person or people, circulates in the world: as commodity of the global financial market, and simultaneously, as contradiction of tropes regarding disabled, Southeast Asian girls in the developing world. An incisive look at how colonial ableism, racism, and sexism have kept violent legacies on museum walls, it shows empathetic possibilities for imagining otherwise and charts histories of resilience and of disabled peoples longstanding activism. Interspersed with the authors own poetry, fiction, and visual art on the paintings subject, this is a book of emotional heft.
