This book on Relationality addresses our growing "crisis of
connection" by foregrounding the multi-faceted ways in which we are
interconnected with each other and the world in which we live. When
Niobe Way and her collaborators first proclaimed such a "crisis" in
their 2018 book The Crisis of Connection: Roots, Consequences, and
Solutions, they could not have foreseen the extremes of isolation
and disconnection that Covid-19 would unleash just a couple of
years later. Importantly, what such experiences of impaired and
compromised relationality impress upon us-now more powerfully than
ever-is just how fundamentally we are intertwined with each other
and the world we inhabit. The ten scholarly chapters assembled
here, combined with ten specially commissioned poems, emphasise the
significance of these relational entanglements. They draw on a
range of thinkers (with Emmanuel Levinas playing a particularly
prominent role) to bring relationality into conversation with an
array of contemporary paradigms and areas of political concern: the
Anthropocene, post-humanism, neoliberalism, disability studies, and
postcolonialism (to name but a few). Tracing the various challenges
and opportunities associated with our relational existence, they
collectively consider the role relationality plays, or might play,
in our increasingly less-than-relational lives. The chapters and
poems in this book were originally published as a special issue of
Angelaki.
