Nora Bateson – författare

In 'Combining', Nora Bateson invites us into an ecology of communication where nothing stands alone, and every action sets off a chain of incalculable consequences. She challenges conventional fixes for our problems, highlighting the need to tackle issues at multiple levels, understand interdependence, and embrace ambiguity.Insisting on our collective responsibility to confront the looming threats to humanity's survival, she advocates change through interconnectedness and challenges us to rethink our perspectives on relationships, community, and the very essence of being human.A blend of intellectual inquiry, essays, emotional engagement, storytelling, poetry and graphic art, Combining is an invitation to nurture genuine connections and navigate a world brimming with "Warm Data" - the interrelationships that integrate elements of every complex system. The book calls on us to shed our linear thinking and embrace "Aphanipoiesis" - the unseen ways in which life comes together to foster vitality and propel evolution.In 'Combining', love, humor, curiosity, and vulnerability entwine amidst the trials of a world in flux. As we face the Polycrisis, Nora Bateson urges us to swerve from the traditional paths and to dismantle the illusions of fitting in. She beckons us to step into a world where learning, uncutness, and readiness converge, promising both revelation and revolution.

Belly is a book about food, but it is not a cookbook. NoraBateson invites us into the kitchens, gardens, markets and hospital wards wherethe real politics of everyday life play out. Here, dinners and snacks, hospitaltrays and celebratory cakes all become ways of seeing the interwoven systems offamily, ecology, illness, migration, labour, empire and care.With the same intimate, insurgent voice that shaped SmallArcs of Larger Circles and Combining, Bateson moves between story, essay andreflection. A pot of soup becomes an inquiry into class; a hospital mealreveals the logics of a healthcare system; a family feast opens onto questionsof racism, extraction and climate breakdown. The result is a kind of “warmdata” cookbook – a collection of edible stories that refuse to be “just thatand nothing more”.Belly is for readers who feel that something is missing inboth conventional cookbooks and conventional politics. It is an invitation tonotice how we are being nourished – and starved – by the overlapping processesin which we live, and to imagine other ways of feeding and being fed.
