Resurgence & Ecologist magazine has been at the forefront of environmental reportage for over half a century. A multi-disciplinary resource, Resurgence & Ecologist explores the most pressing issues of the time through the lens of politics, economics and philosophy as well as social justice, ecology, sociology, sustainability and the arts. Providing diverse, inclusive and global views, its 50+ year archive offers both a retrospective and contemporary analysis of current affairs.

Remaining true to its roots as one of first and leading exponents of systems theory, Resurgence & Ecologist seeks to point out the links between issues as diverse as the climate crisis, war, pharmaceuticals, corporate fraud, globalisation, nuclear power, intensive farming, pollution and the power of mass media. Ahead of its time, this pioneering publication played a leading role in diagnosing the environmental crises that have become all too apparent today.

Resurgence & Ecologist brings together a broad range of acclaimed writers such as Vandana Shiva, Noam Chomsky, Bill Mckibben, Mya-Rose Craig, E.F. Schumacher, Caroline Lucas, James Lovelock, Louisa Adjoa Parker, Robert McFarlane, George Monbiot and Winona Laduke

In a world of political turbulence, social unrest and environmental challenges Resurgence & Ecologist is an invaluable resource for any institutional library.

Restorying the world
Issue 356 • May/June 2026

What might change if our language began to reflect a more entangled relationship with the living world – one that is more relational, perhaps even guided by affection?

In May 1966, the first issue of Resurgence was published. That’s 60 years of stories and 60 years of asking how we might live more gently and more attentively within the living world. Across those years, the words we use – and the ways we use them – have helped to shape that asking.

When commissioning writers for this magazine, I invited them to avoid using the word Nature altogether. In her introduction to the themed section, gardener and writer Sui Searle writes: “The story of separation runs through our culture: that humans stand outside and above this thing we call Nature. Nature as object, as noun – distinct from us: something to be used in our service.”

Much of our language carries this inheritance. Words shape the stories we tell, and stories shape how we live our lives. The poet and writer Sophie Strand says she doesn’t like to work by banishing words “by subtraction” and instead likes to “add enough on top of them that they meld and rot and grow something new”. Language, after all, is never fixed. In late Middle English, the word nature could also appear as a verb. To nature something was to bring it forth, to foster its growth, to nurture and sustain life. Perhaps the question, then, is how such shifts in language might shape the stories we tell today.

So, the invitation to readers is this: how much do we need to rewrite our own texts? How much do we need to change the stories that we tell about the world – and about our place within it? And what might happen if, like the writers in this issue, we allowed our language to grow a little wilder?
