Description
Inhuman Nature by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen explores the complex relationships between humans and the natural world. This collection of essays delves into the ways in which our surroundings shape us, while also revealing the difficulties and resistance that arise from these interactions. Cohen examines various topics, including the futurity of storms and wrecks, the properties of wood, and the ontology of everyday objects. He also considers the interstices at which nature and culture become intertwined, highlighting the ways in which our understanding of the world is influenced by its material presence. Through his thought-provoking essays, Cohen challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about the human experience and our place within the natural world.
