A multidisciplinary exploration of extinction and what comes next
What comes after extinction? Including both prominent and unusual
voices in current debates around the Anthropocene, this collection
asks authors from diverse backgrounds to address this question.
After Extinction looks at the future of humans and nonhumans,
exploring how the scale of risk posed by extinction has changed in
light of the accelerated networks of the twenty-first century. The
collection considers extinction as a cultural, artistic, and media
event as well as a biological one. The authors treat extinction in
relation to a variety of topics, including disability, human
exceptionalism, science-fiction understandings of time and
posthistory, photography, the contemporary ecological crisis, the
California Condor, systemic racism, Native American traditions, and
capitalism. From discussions of the anticipated sixth extinction to
the status of writing, theory, and philosophy after extinction, the
contributions of this volume are insightful and innovative, timely
and thought provoking. Contributors: Daryl Baldwin, Miami U; Claire
