Living on a damaged planet challenges who we are and where we live.
This timely anthology calls on twenty eminent humanists and
scientists to revitalize curiosity, observation, and
transdisciplinary conversation about life on earth. As
human-induced environmental change threatens multispecies
livability, Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet puts forward a bold
proposal: entangled histories, situated narratives, and thick
descriptions offer urgent “arts of living.” Included are essays
by scholars in anthropology, ecology, science studies, art,
literature, and bioinformatics who posit critical and creative
tools for collaborative survival in a more-than-human Anthropocene.
The essays are organized around two key figures that also serve as
the publication’s two openings: Ghosts, or landscapes haunted by
the violences of modernity; and Monsters, or interspecies and
intraspecies sociality. Ghosts and Monsters are tentacular, windy,
and arboreal arts that invite readers to encounter ants, lichen,
rocks, electrons, flying foxes, salmon, chestnut trees, mud
volcanoes, border zones, graves, radioactive waste—in short, the
wonders and terrors of an unintended epoch. Contributors: Karen
