In the midst of spiraling ecological devastation, multispecies
feminist theorist Donna J. Haraway offers provocative new ways to
reconfigure our relations to the earth and all its inhabitants. She
eschews referring to our current epoch as the Anthropocene,
preferring to conceptualize it as what she calls the Chthulucene,
as it more aptly and fully describes our epoch as one in which the
human and nonhuman are inextricably linked in tentacular practices.
The Chthulucene, Haraway explains, requires sym-poiesis, or
making-with, rather than auto-poiesis, or self-making. Learning to
stay with the trouble of living and dying together on a damaged
earth will prove more conducive to the kind of thinking that would
provide the means to building more livable futures. Theoretically
and methodologically driven by the signifier SF—string figures,
science fact, science fiction, speculative feminism, speculative
fabulation, so far—Staying with the Trouble further cements
Haraway's reputation as one of the most daring and original
thinkers of our time.
