This volume fosters a re-imagination of the planet where it is seen
not only as a resource, but also as an entity that must not be
excluded from the political imperative of care and kinship. The
authors go beyond the normative understanding of space by
recognizing the potency of touch, where they look at somatic
experiences that invite the intensity of affect. The book questions
the dominance of the capitalocene through the existence of social
aesthetic and records the affective encounters that facilitate the
creation of planetary identity, affinity, and entanglements. With
discussions on architecture, poetry, rap music, romantic
literature, performance art, digital fashion, Instagram, Netflix
shows, YouTube videos, moving image practices, eco-sexual movements
and graphic narratives, the chapters in this volume initiate a
conversation on what it means to inhabit the world today. An
important contribution, the book will be of interest to students
and researchers of environmental humanities, planetary humanities,
affect studies, digital humanities, media studies, besides also
being of interest to those studying interdisciplinary
critical/cultural theory, Television and film studies, philosophy,
and architectural theory.
