This paper presents a sketch of the problems involved in social movements responding to climate change, coming to produce new modes of action and representation. Understanding the richness and confusion of these responses, and the ways movements can arise from disorder while producing self-undermining disorder, requires a) anthropology, b) a relatively explicit psychology and c) an awareness that ‘disorder’ is not a residue or pathology, but both a driver and potentially creative factor in events.
