The Routledge Handbook of the Digital Environmental Humanities
explores the digital methods and tools scholars use to observe,
interpret, and manage nature in several different academic fields.
Employing historical, philosophical, linguistic, literary, and
cultural lenses, this handbook explores how the digital
environmental humanities (DEH), as an emerging field, recognises
its convergence with the environmental humanities. As such, it is
empirically, critically, and ethically engaged in exploring
digitally mediated, visualised, and parsed framings of past,
present, and future environments, landscapes, and cultures.
Currently, humanities, geographical, cartographical, informatic,
and computing disciplines are finding a common space in the DEH and
are bringing the use of digital applications, coding, and software
into league with literary and cultural studies and the visual,
film, and performing arts. In doing so, the DEH facilitates
transdisciplinary encounters between fields as diverse as human
cognition, gaming, bioinformatics and linguistics, social media,
literature and history, music, painting, philology, philosophy, and
the earth and environmental sciences. This handbook will be
essential reading for those interested in the use of digital tools
in the study of the environment from a wide range of disciplines
and for those working in the environmental humanities more
generally.
What can unfold from an engagement of feminist issues, concerns and
practices with the geopolitical? How does feminism allow for a
reconfiguration of how these two elements, the geo- and the
-political, are understood and related? What kinds of objects can
be located and put into motion? What kinds of relations can be
drawn between these? What kinds of practice become valued? And,
what is glossed or rendered absent in the process? In this
thought-provoking and original contribution, Deborah P. Dixon
cautions against the exhaustion of feminist geopolitics as a
critique of both a classical and a critical geopolitics, and points
instead to how feminist imaginaries of Self, Other and Earth allow
for all manner of work to be undertaken. Importantly, one of the
things they provide for is a reservoir of concerns, thoughts and
practices that can be reappropriated to flesh out what a feminist
geopolitics can be. While providing a much-needed, sustained
interjection that draws out achievements to date, the book thus
gestures forward to productive lines of inquiry and method.
Grounded via a series of globally diverse case studies that
traverse time as well as space, Feminist Geopolitics feels for the
borders of geopolitical thought and practice by navigating four
complex and corporeally-aware objects of analysis, namely flesh,
bone, touch and abhorrence.
Building on a trans-disciplinary, feminist project that foregrounds
the bodies of those at the 'sharp end' of various forms of
international activity, such as immigration, development and
warfare, the chapters included in this book cover a variety of
sites, concerns, and hopes. These range from the fraught
geopolitics of marriage and birth in Ladakh, India, to the fate of
detained migrant children in the U.S., and from the human rights
abuses of women and children in Uzbekistan to the body politics of
aid workers in Afghanistan. The collective aim is to expose the
force relations that operate through and upon those bodies, such
that particular subjectivities are enhanced, constrained, and put
to work, and particular corporealities are violated, exploited, and
often abandoned. Oriented around issues of security, population,
territory, and nationalism, these chapters expose the proliferating
bodies of geopolitics, not simply as the bearers of socially
demarcated borders and boundaries, but as vulnerable
corporealities, seeking to negotiate and transform the geopolitics
they both animate and inhabit. This book was originally published
as a special issue of Gender, Place and Culture: A Journal of
Feminist Geography.
