Is interconnectedness an ontology or an epistemology? In other words, does understanding the world as an co-contingent web of reciprocity and relationality describe the world as it is, or does it make and remake in a certain image? An issue I plan to examine further is whether claims of the world being ontologically interconnected (the perspective of environmentalists and ecological thinkers) has resulted in a co-optation by capital, cybernetics, and communication technologies to serve anti-ecological interests. Perhaps instead of an ontological claim, ecological thinking opened up an epistemological shift which allowed for the reification and exploitation of its thought.
