Description

Rubber Boots Methods for the Anthropocene: Doing Fieldwork in Multispecies Worlds A methodological follow-up to Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet, this collection explores the environmental and climatic crises of our time as fundamentally multispecies crises. The contributors argue that understanding these disruptions requires multispecies methods. The book presents thirteen transdisciplinary accounts of practical methodological experimentation, highlighting diverse settings from the High Arctic to the deserts of southern Africa and from the pampas of Argentina to the coral reefs of the Western Pacific. These studies investigate critical questions of our time through empirical research that insists on firsthand immersion in the field. This collection puts forth empirical studies of the multispecies messiness of contemporary life, offering a nuanced understanding of the socioecological chaos of the contemporary moment across multiple disciplines and knowledge systems.
