Feral Atlas: The More-Than-Human Anthropocene
Publication Description
Feral Atlas: The More-Than-Human Anthropocene sets the gold standard for 21st-century digital humanities scholarship. Spearheaded by Anna Tsing with Jennifer Deger, Alder Keleman Saxena, and Feifei Zhou, and published by Stanford University Press, this innovative, interactive website-as-multimedia-book gives readers a cornucopia of thought-provoking yet accessible materials. With over 100 contributors, 80 field reports, dozens of artworks, videos, maps, teaching materials, and more, Feral Atlas – exclusively online – presents empirically and conceptually rich offerings from a multidisciplinary knowledge-making community that goes beyond the linear constraints of a traditional book, using hyperlink connectivities to afford readers multiple possible forking paths through the fecund garden of materials that can be read diffractively against and with one another. Focusing on how the entanglement of human with extra-human forms of agency shapes our shared world – entanglements overlooked by most social science and science alike – the aim is to create new knowledges and forms of remediation of the Anthropocene condition. As Asia is a zone in the Global South where the worst effects of the Anthropocene are being felt sooner and more intensely than the Global North and “developed” world of the West, this publication is of enormous relevance to scholars of Asia.
