Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What does it mean to do cultural studies in the age of climate change, biodiversity loss, and global pandemics? Florian Cord argues that what is needed is a discipline that is less anthropocentric and more attuned to the nonhuman, be it animals, plants, rocks, ecosystems, or technologies.

The result is a thoroughly revised discipline, one capable of making a significant contribution to the contemporary struggles for more livable and just futures - a cultural studies for the Capitalocene. A systematic development of posthumanist cultural studies equipped with the analytical tools to respond to the challenges of the Capitalocene.
