Envisioning and foreseeing the future is an activity that, fueled by the ecological crisis, occupies an ever increasing number of actors and experts. Each expertise produces a characteristic type of narrative that shapes futures and carves out imaginaries. Collapsology has thus massively imposed the motif of collapse. But what if the collapse motif were to be replaced by a trembling motif (quake, shake)? The motif of trembling traces a continuum between very heterogeneous bodies (earthly, human, living, social, political bodies, etc.). To the vertical logic of collapse, it substitutes a horizontal oscillation within the limits, scenarios, pre-established programs. We are all trembling bodies!
