Trans(in)fusion reexamines critical thinking and considers how thinking across traditions and systems of thought can generate distinct interpretive experiences. The chapters not only analyze Ghosh’s work but provide insight into the authors’ individual positions and critical approaches.

Parasitism and Multispecies World

Rethinking Relationality in the Anthropocene

Kommande

The book discusses how the figure of the parasite and concept of parasitism open up new avenues of thinking about human, other-than-human and more-than-human world-making. The parasite helps us in our understanding of not only socio-political relations but also the relational turn in contemporary ecological and biological thought. The figure of the parasite has been employed in relational thinking and deconstructionist thinking, but it has never been used in understanding ecological crises in the Anthropocene. This scholarly work not only locates the figure of the parasite in a multispecies world, it also espouses parasitism as a mode of thinking and parasite–parasite as a mode of living. The book promotes a unique form of multispecies thinking and doing that is necessary for survival.
