Description
Hydrohumanities: Water Discourse and Environmental Futures explores how our understanding of water is changing in response to climate extremes. Traditionally, discussions have focused on human control over this limited resource, but now scholars are reimagining water discourse to account for the complexities of a warming world.
This interdisciplinary collection brings together contributions from humanities fields, including history, art history, philosophy, and science and technology studies. It broadens the concept of water to include not just oceans and rivers, but also pipes, ice floes, marshes, bottles, dams, and more. By examining agency, fluid identities, and cultural currencies, this volume demonstrates how humanities scholarship can shape more just water futures.
A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at This book showcases the world-changing potential of humanities scholarship to address pressing environmental issues.
