This ground-breaking book critically extends the psychological
project, seeking to investigate the relations between human and
more-than-human worlds against the backdrop of the Anthropocene by
emphasising the significance of encounter, interaction and
relationships. Interdisciplinary environmental theorist Matthew
Adams draws inspiration from a wealth of ideas emerging in
human-animal studies, anthrozoology, multi-species ethnography and
posthumanism, offering a framing of collective anthropogenic
ecological crises to provocatively argue that the Anthropocene is
also an invitation - to become conscious of the ways in which human
and nonhuman are inextricably connected. Through a series of
strange encounters between human and nonhuman worlds, Adams argues
for the importance of cultivating attentiveness to the specific and
situated ways in which the fates of multiple species are bound
together in the Anthropocene. Throughout the book this argument is
put into practice, incorporating everything from Pavlov's dogs,
broiler chickens, urban trees, grazing sheep and beached whales, to
argue that the Anthropocene can be good to think with, conducive to
a seeing ourselves and our place in the world with a renewed sense
of connection, responsibility and love. Building on developments in
feminist and social theory, anthropology, ecopsychology,
environmental psychology, (post)humanities, psychoanalysis and
phenomenology, this is fascinating reading for academics and
students in the field of critical psychology, environmental
psychology, and human-animal studies.
