‭Phenomenology, dwelling and places‬
‭Kearney analyzes how axiological return shows itself and how violence impacts a‬
‭society's culture in her work. Her work pushes readers to think about the emergence of‬
‭axiological return and shows what happens when one's surroundings become a weapon for‬
‭misery.‬
‭Kearny explains the effects of violence using kin centricity. She talked about her‬
‭eighteen years of encounters in the southwest Gulf of Carpentaria with the Yanyuwa people.‬
‭Significant changes in the surrounding topography have resulted in the loss of the historic‬
‭campsites at Yanyuwa since it was originally established in 1788. According to Yanyuwa‬
‭history, the loss of species upset the elderly and spirit residents of the land and damaged the‬
‭environment.‬
‭Regarding Germain's notion of violence, Kearney argues According to her, violence is‬
‭a part of life and not just something that happens to individuals. She listed six different forms‬
‭of violence: psychological, physical, cultural, political, and so on. She believes that physical‬
‭violence has a particularly negative impact on the environment. Kearney uses concepts like‬
‭"kincentricity" and "nested ecology" to explain the deep love and care indigenous societies‬
‭have for nature. Since these systems coexist and are interrelated, changes at one level may‬
‭have inhibitory consequences on other levels.‬
‭As per her assertion, the presence of emotional pain, erasure, and destruction might‬
‭serve as indicators of an individual's attachment to a specific location and its impact on‬
‭human existence. How may the effects of violence on the environment be reduced?‬
