Engaging Donna Haraway Lives In The Natureculture Web | Literature

Engaging Donna Haraway: Lives in the Natureculture Web explores the impact of major theorist Donna Haraway in such diverse areas as feminisms Marxism new materialism science studies posthumanism animal studies ecocriticism digital media and life narrative. The book shows how Haraway’s decades-long career as a major theoretical voice and provocateur of thinking about new and complex connections across technology species and disciplines has generated bold experiments in writing from the perspective and senses of non-human species in photographic self-portraiture of bodily life in animating the lives of scientists in radical genealogy in playful teaching methods and much more. Focusing on the ways in which Haraway’s oeuvre have affected and will continue to challenge life narrative theory and practice the chapters in this book present cross-disciplinary perspectives which are both personal and critical. As scholars students and activists inspired by Haraway’s work these essays together ask all of us to think about where we place ourselves in an age of environmental crisis and how to live in a ‘natureculture web’ which is as fragile as it is beautiful. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of a/b: Auto/Biography Studies. |Engaging Donna Haraway Lives in the Natureculture Web | Literature
