New Materialist Tangles in and for the Anthropocene

This special issue of the Journal of Human Rights and the Environment is based around groundbreaking conversation with Professors Jane Bennett and William E Connolly. The result is an engaging, stimulating and imaginative collection of interdisciplinary works, all directly responding to the work of Bennett and Connolly.

In the face of 'Anthropocene' pressures and challenges, moving away from an imaginary of human mastery toward an appreciation of nonhuman and more-than-human agencies is now an urgent ethical task.

This thoughtful, enriching set of essays and conversations offers a unique exploration of themes and questions concerning a lively world 'in trouble'. Provocative, stimulating, playful, insightful, and prescient, the reflections in this book invite readers into imaginative and ecologically open ways of envisioning an entangled world.
