Ecology has become one of the most urgent and lively fields in both
the humanities and sciences. In a dramatic widening of scope beyond
its original concern with the coexistence of living organisms
within a natural environment, it is now recognized that there are
ecologies of mind, information, sensation, perception, power,
participation, media, behavior, belonging, values, the social, the
political... a thousand ecologies. This proliferation is not simply
a metaphorical extension of the figurative potential of natural
ecology: rather, it reflects the thoroughgoing imbrication of
natural and technological elements in the constitution of the
contemporary environments we inhabit, the rise of a cybernetic
natural state, with its corresponding mode of power. Hence this
ecology of ecologies initiates and demands that we go beyond the
specificity of any particular ecology: a general thinking of
ecology which may also constitute an ecological transformation of
thought itself is required. In this ambitious and radical new
volume of writings, some of the most exciting contemporary thinkers
in the field take on the task of revealing and theorizing the
extent of the ecologization of existence as the effect of our
contemporary sociotechnological condition: together, they bring out
the complexity and urgency of the challenge of ecological
thought-one we cannot avoid if we want to ask and indeed have a
chance of affecting what forms of life, agency, modes of existence,
human or otherwise, will participate-and how-in this planet's
future.
