This book presents a novel and systematic social theory of soil, and is representative of the rising interest in ‘the material’ in social sciences. Bringing together new modes of ‘critical description’ with speculative practices and methods of inquiry, it contributes to the exploration of current transformations in socioecologies, as well as in political and artistic practices, in order to address global ecological change.The chapters in this edited volume challenge scholars to attend more carefully to the ways in which they think about soil, both materially and theoretically. Contributors address a range of topics, including new ways of thinking about the politics of caring for soils; the ecological and symbiotic relations between soils; how the productive capacities and contested governance of soils are deployed as matters of political concern; and indigenous ways of knowing and being with soil.

This book brings together perspectives from the social sciences and humanities on how soils and subsoils are increasingly mobilized to tackle climate change and ecological issues. Carbon capture and storage, the extraction of energy and non-energy minerals, geothermal energy, biofuel production, organic waste recycling and soil remediation are central to the hoped-for green transition. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the book examines the social and ecological implications of these ground-based technological promises, addressing how they both dwell upon and reorient the joint becoming of social and geological strata in the Anthropocene. It is structured into three sections: Inhabiting a de-stratified Earth, Earthly re-stratifications, and Emerging practices and sensitivities to the Earth. Each section explores key aspects of contemporary efforts to reshape the Earth’s strata and examines how these processes intersect with shifts in knowledge, power, practices, and our relationship with the planet. The book features case studies from Europe, North America, and South America that provide grounded insights into soil- and subsoil-based developments and initiatives and unpack their social, political, and ecological consequences.
