What does feminism have to say to the Anthropocene? How does the
concept of the Anthropocene impact feminism? This book is a daring
and provocative response to the masculinist and techno-normative
approach to the Anthropocene so often taken by technoscientists,
artists, humanists, and social scientists. By coining and, for the
first time, fully exploring the concept of “anthropocene
feminism,” it highlights the alternatives feminism and queer
theory can offer for thinking about the Anthropocene.
Feminist theory has long been concerned with the anthropogenic
impact of humans, particularly men, on nature. Consequently, the
contributors to this volume explore not only what current interest
in the Anthropocene might mean for feminism but also what it is
that feminist theory can contribute to technoscientific
understandings of the Anthropocene. With essays from prominent
environmental and feminist scholars on topics ranging from Hawaiian
poetry to Foucault to shelled creatures to hypomodernity to
posthuman feminism, this book highlights both why we need an
anthropocene feminism and why thinking about the Anthropocene must
come from feminism. Contributors: Stacy Alaimo, U of Texas
