- Summary:
- Environmentalism and social sciences appear to be in a period of disorientation and perhaps transition. In this innovative collection, leading international thinkers explore the notion that one explanation for the current malaise of the ""politics of ecology"" is that we increasingly find ourselves negotiating ""technonatural"" space/times. International contributors map the political ecologies of our technonatural present and indicate possible paths for technonatural futures. The term ""technonatures"" is in debt to a long line of environmental cultural theory from Raymond Willia
