Description
Discover the groundbreaking book 'Anthropocene Feminism', a pivotal exploration that delves into the intersections of feminism and the Anthropocene epoch. This innovative volume challenges the often masculinist and techno-normative perspectives prevalent in discussions surrounding the Anthropocene. With contributions from renowned scholars, this comprehensive work presents a fresh lens through which we can view critical environmental issues. The essays included in this book address a diverse range of subjects—from how Hawaiian poetry contextualizes the Anthropocene to discussions on posthuman feminism. This unique anthology serves as both a critique of existing frameworks and a call to action, urging readers to consider how feminist theory can enrich our understanding of anthropogenic impacts on the earth. 'Anthropocene Feminism' not only answers the question of what feminism offers to this new epoch but also emphasizes its vital role in shaping conversations around environmental justice. Every essay adds depth and complexity to the ongoing discourse about gender, ecology, and culture in the face of climate change and ecological crisis. An essential read for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in the future of our planet.

Description:
What does feminism have to say to the Anthropocene? How does the concept of the Anthropocene impact feminism? This book is a daring and provocative response to the masculinist and techno-normative approach to the Anthropocene so often taken by technoscientists, artists, humanists, and social scientists. By coining and, for the first time, fully exploring the concept of anthropocene feminism, it highlights the alternatives feminism and queer theory can offer for thinking about the Anthropocene.Feminist theory has long been concerned with the anthropogenic impact of humans, particularly men, on nature. Consequently, the contributors to this volume explore not only what current interest in the Anthropocene might mean for feminism but also what it is that feminist theory can contribute to technoscientific understandings of the Anthropocene. With essays from prominent environmental and feminist scholars on topics ranging from Hawaiian poetry to Foucault to shelled creatures to hypomodernity to posthuman feminism, this book highlights both why we need an anthropocene feminism and why thinking about the Anthropocene must come from feminism.Contributors: Stacy Alaimo, U of Texas at Arlington; Rosi Braidotti, Utrecht U; Joshua Clover, U of California, Davis; Claire Colebrook, Pennsylvania State U; Dehlia Hannah, Arizona State U; Myra J.
