Abstract

In this text I address relationships between humans, places, and plants in a valley of the French Alps before and following a disastrous climate event. In three movements I look at spatial and temporal transformations, reverberations, and the way new entanglements emerge and take shape. I investigate processes of making, unmaking, and co-constitution of locus (site), which I define as heterotopian, in order to see what – if any – potentiality the climate disaster might hold.
