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.
