This is an excellent edited collection that points to new lines of inquiry in the areas explored. The editors must congratulate themselves in pulling together a fine body of work. JRAI To consider anew the relation of science and humanities beyond the simplistic finger-pointing of "social constructivism" or the reductivism of STS, as this book does, is an important direction for continuing Deleuze's project. SubStance This remarkable work...creates a compelling radicalism from which to broach issues and problems that turn out to belong to no one discipline. Marilyn Strathern, Cambridge University Science studies has long been in need of some Deleuzian lines of flight from its predictable territories - now the wait is over...If the next century will be known as Deleuzian, as Foucault famously predicted, then the next century's science studies will proliferate and unfold from the rich materials collected here. Mike Fortun, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Science and technology studies, cultural anthropology and cultural studies deal with the complex relations between material, symbolic, technical and political practices.In a Deleuzian approach these relations are seen as produced in heterogeneous assemblages, moving across distinctions such as the human and non-human or the material and ideal. This volume outlines a Deleuzian approach to analyzing science, culture and politics. Casper Bruun Jensen, PhD, is associate professor in the Technologies in Practice research group, IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Kjetil Rodje is a PhD graduate from the School of Communication, Simon Fraser University, Canada.

This wide‑ranging volume addresses the changing landscape of problems, challenges, and possibilities that emerge once the macroscopic notion of the Anthropocene is replaced with Southern Anthropocenes. It envisions Southern Anthropocenes as an opening towards forms and ends of life that exceed—while remaining in partial relation with—modern socio‑economic horizons and the determinations of the geo‑, eco‑, and climate sciences.What happens if Southern Anthropocenes are allowed to multiply, and room is made for practices of worlding and life that are impossible from within the singular Anthropocene?Key issues include emergent interfaces between beings, ways of living, and worlds; problems of co‑existence in and across pluriversal contact zones; explorations of liveability under rapidly changing circumstances; speculations about other futures and how to invent them; investigations of more‑than‑human itineraries and entangled territories; and explorations of how to collectively invent the portals between ways of thinking and acting on a planet in a critical state. It will be essential reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in Sociology, Anthropology, Critical Education, Environmental Humanities, Science and Technology Studies, Geography, and Urban Studies.

Over time, the role of nature in anthropology has evolved from being a mere backdrop for social and cultural diversity to being viewed as an integral part of the ontological entanglement of human and nonhuman agents. This transformation of the role of nature offers important insight into the relationships between diverse anthropological traditions. By highlighting natural-cultural worlds alongside these traditions, Multiple Nature-Cultures, Diverse Anthropologies explores the potential for creating more sophisticated conjunctions of anthropological knowledge and practice.
