Mangroves thrive in intertidal zones, where they gather organisms
and objects from land, river, and ocean. They develop into complex
ecologies in these dynamic in-between spaces. Mobilising resources
drawn from semiotic materialism and the environmental humanities,
this book seeks a form of social theory from the mangroves; that is
to think interstitiality from the perspective of mangroves
themselves, exploring the crafty and tenacious world-making they
are engaged in. Three sections weave together theory, science and
close observation, responding to calls within the environmental
humanities for detailed attention to interactions in marginal
spaces and those of interpretative tension. It examines
interstitiality by considering theories of difference,
relationality, and reflexivity in the context of mangrove
socioecological materialities, drawing on influential writers such
as Michel Serres, Jacques Derrida, Deborah Bird Rose, Donna
Haraway, Brian Massumi and Maurice Merleau-Ponty as theoretical
touchstones. Exploring Interstitiality with Mangroves is a
lyrically crafted philosophical analysis that will appeal to
scholars, researchers and students interested in the developing
frontiers of more-than-human post-anthropocentric writing, theory
and methodologies. It will be of interest to readers in
ecocriticism, environmental humanities, cultural geography, place
studies and nature writing.
