Life Writing in the Posthuman Anthropocene is a timely collection
of insightful contributions that negotiate how the genre of life
writing, traditionally tied to the human perspective and thus
anthropocentric qua definition, can provide adequate perspectives
for an age of ecological disasters and global climate change. The
volume's eight chapters illustrate the aptness of life writing and
life writing studies to critically reevaluate the role of "the
human" vis-a-vis non-human others while remaining mindful of
persisting inequalities between humans regarding who causes and who
suffers damage in the Anthropocene age. The authors in this
collection not only expand the toolbox of life writing studies by
engaging with critical insights from the fields of posthumanism and
ecocriticism, but, in turn, also enrich those fields by offering
unique approaches to contemplate the responsibility of humans for
as well as their relational existence in the posthuman
Anthropocene.
