Description

Ecopolitics: Reassessing ecological thought in poststructuralist theory. The events of 1968 marked a significant turning point in the development of ecological awareness, yet this theme has received relatively little attention in recent years. This book reassesses the role of ecological issues in the work of key French poststructural thinkers and others who were influenced by these events. Through a close reading of key texts by prominent figures such as Bateson, Serres, Prigogine, Stergers, Virilio, Guattari, Cixous, Irigaray, and others, Ecopolitics explores how a shift away from humanism has played a crucial role in shaping ecological thought. By examining the ways in which thinkers have reevaluated nature and technology, this book sheds new light on the development of ecological theory. By reassessing the relationship between ecology and poststructuralist thought, Ecopolitics provides a nuanced understanding of how our understanding of the world has evolved over time.
