The purpose of Communicating in the Anthropocene: Intimate
Relations is to tell a different story about the world. Humans,
especially those raised in Western traditions, have long told
stories about themselves as individual protagonists who act with
varying degrees of free will against a background of mute
supporting characters and inert landscapes. Humans can be either
saviors or destroyers, but our actions are explained and judged
again and again as emanating from the individual. And yet, as the
coronavirus pandemic has made clear, humans are unavoidably
interconnected not only with other humans, but with nonhuman and
more-than-human others with whom we share space and time. Why do so
many of us humans avoid, deny, or resist a view of the world where
our lives are made possible, maybe even made richer, through
connection? In this volume, we suggest a view of communication as
intimacy. We use this concept as a provocation for thinking about
how we humans are in an always-already state of being-in-relation
with other humans, nonhumans, and the land.
