Abstract

This essay addresses the need to reformulate and reconceptualize bioregionalism. In a global economy, bioregionalism requires a new communal sensibility that can create an intimate connection between culture and the life region. Humans cannot live in a community that is interpreted, mapped or simulated by others. An interpreted and simulated community is not a home. Only those who inhabit a community and place can protect and restore it. The values of autopoiesis (self-production) and mimesis are described as ways to reconnect culture with place and the bioregion.
