The Green Thread: Dialogues with the Vegetal World is an
interdisciplinary collection of essays in the emerging field of
Plant Studies. The volume is the first of its kind to bring
together a dynamic body of scholarship that shares a critique of
long-standing human perceptions of plants as lacking autonomy,
agency, consciousness, and, intelligence. The leading metaphor of
the book-"the green thread", echoing poet Dylan Thomas' phrase "the
green fuse"-carries multiple meanings. On a more apparent level,
"the green thread" is what weaves together the diverse approaches
of this collection: an interest in the vegetal that goes beyond
single disciplines and specialist discourses, and one that not only
encourages but necessitates interdisciplinary and even interspecies
dialogue. On another level, "the green thread" links creative and
historical productions to the materiality of the vegetal-a reality
reflecting our symbiosis with oxygen-producing beings. In short,
The Green Thread refers to the conversations about plants that
transcend strict disciplinary boundaries as well as to the
possibility of dialogue with plants.
