Extinction Studies – Stories of Time, Death, and Generations

Autor Thom Van Dooren, Deborah B. Rose, Matthew Chrulew, Cary Wolfe
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iun 2017
Extinction Studies asks what extinction focuses on the entangled ecological and social dimensions of extinction, exploring the ways in which extinction catastrophically interrupts life-giving processes of time, death, and generations. The volume opens up important philosophical questions about our place in, and obligations to, a more-than-human world. Drawing on fieldwork, philosophy, literature, history, and a range of other perspectives, each of the chapters in this book tells a unique extinction story that explores what extinction is, what it means, why it matters--and to whom.
