By foregrounding the ways that human existence is bound together
with the lives of other entities, contemporary cultural theorists
have sought to move beyond an anthropocentric worldview. Yet as Eva
Haifa Giraud contends in What Comes after Entanglement?, for all
their conceptual power in implicating humans in ecologically
damaging practices, these theories can undermine scope for
political action. Drawing inspiration from activist projects
between the 1980s and the present that range from anticapitalist
media experiments and vegan food activism to social media campaigns
against animal research, Giraud explores possibilities for action
while fleshing out the tensions between theory and practice. Rather
than an activist ethics based solely on relationality and
entanglement, Giraud calls for what she describes as an ethics of
exclusion, which would attend to the entities, practices, and ways
of being that are foreclosed when other entangled realities are
realized. Such an ethics of exclusion emphasizes foreclosures in
the context of human entanglement in order to foster the conditions
for people to create meaningful political change.
