%X Many discussions surrounding environmental ethics and spirituality revolve aroundenchantment and place. Such notions are inherently marked by transcendentunderstandings of ˇ°religionˇ± and ˇ°nature.ˇ± This article suggests that these transcendentunderstandings could be problematic in an era of globalization marked by movement andchange. Using the work of postmodern thinkers to destabilize foundational concepts ofˇ°Nature,ˇ± as well as the sacred, this article argues for fashioning a planetary ethic thatpays attention to aesthetics of movement and change, moving environmental ethics froma discussion about place to a discussion about pace.
