A methodological follow-up to Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet
 The environmental and climatic crises of our time are
fundamentally multispecies crises. And the Anthropocene, a time of
“human-made” disruptions on a planetary scale, is a disruption
of the fabric of life as a whole. The contributors to Rubber Boots
Methods for the Anthropocene argue that understanding the
multispecies nature of these disruptions requires multispecies
methods. Answering methodological challenges posed by the
Anthropocene, Rubber Boots Methods for the Anthropocene retools the
empirical study of the socioecological chaos of the contemporary
moment across the arts, human science, and natural science. Based
on critical landscape history, multispecies curiosity, and
collaboration across disciplines and knowledge systems, the volume
presents thirteen transdisciplinary accounts of practical
methodological experimentation, highlighting diverse settings
ranging from the High Arctic to the deserts of southern Africa and
from the pampas of Argentina to the coral reefs of the Western
Pacific, always insisting on the importance of firsthand, “rubber
boots” immersion in the field. The methodological companion to
Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet: Ghosts and Monsters of the
Anthropocene (Minnesota, 2017), this collection puts forth
empirical studies of the multispecies messiness of contemporary
life that investigate some of the critical questions of our time.
