Beskrivning

Staying Together: Natureculture in a Changing World is about staying together, living together, and the dynamics and poetics of togetherness. It demonstrates, through a strong investment in nature studies, nonhuman studies, and nature culture and cohabitative readings, a commitment to interconnectedness. The contributors speak of co-habitation, a kind of co-presence that happens for the good of all and has been happening before we realized its prevalence. They argue co-beingness is deeply founded in difference, differentiation, and dispersion. They explore and investigate this fraught and profound “weness” at a variety of levels, and look at forms of biocentrism and bioegalitarianism where there are opportunities for the affirmation of difference as much as declaration of complexities in co-specicism, co-occurrence, and co-being. The book answers the following questions: How can the complexity of sustainability and survivality lead us to re-planetize the planet? Are we unworlding an Earth where the meaning and ethos “being together” demand reinvention and rearticulation?

Recensioner i media

Staying Together: Natureculture in a Changing World is a classic anthology of ecocritical essays addressing the urgent need for recognizing the crucial importance of the symbiotic interconnections of the multiple species on the earth, particularly at a critical juncture of the earth’s history when the reckless anthropogenic activities make global ecologies fragile, volatile, and precarious, threatening biodiversity and the planetary well being. Eclectic, insightful, and compelling, the essays in this volume, by scholars and activists across the globe, offer an exciting array of new conceptual approaches to the analysis of literary texts, visual images, and environmental artworks, suggesting the ever-expanding reach of ecocriticism and environmental humanities.
