Politics in the Anthropocene
This review essay examines the book Climate Leviathan: A Political Theory of Our Planetary Future by Joel Wainwright and Geoff Mann. It focuses in particular on the methodological approach taken by the authors and on the final section of the book, which explores postcapitalist possibilities centered on equality, inclusion, and dignity. While the book offers both scholars and activists much in their struggle for a climate-just world, a further ope…
Performing Posthumanist Economies in the Anthropocene
Learning to be affected through care
Most people care about someone or something, or even many others or things. But who and how we care is diverse and at times problematic, even fraught. This became particularly evident to me in rece
Building Dignified Worlds: Geographies of Collective Action
This book explores the question of how contemporary collectives are creating diverse, new forms of creative economies that arrange diverse peoples, animals, natural environments, technologies and others around economic concerns. Like older forms of left association, these collectives seek to bring about change. They do so, however, not by working to overthrow and replace an underlying capitalist ‘system’ with an equally totalising alternative lik…
Manifesto for Living in the Anthropocene
The recent 10,000 year history of climatic stability on Earth that enabled the rise of agriculture and domestication, the growth of cities, numerous technological revolutions, and the emergence of modernity is now over. We accept that in the latest phase of this era, modernity is unmaking the stability that enabled its emergence. Over the 21st century severe and numerous weather disasters, scarcity of key resources, major changes in environments,…

Posthumanist Perspectives on Affect: Framing the Field
This special issue on posthumanist perspectives on affect seeks to create a platform for thinking about the intersection of, on the one hand, the posthumanist project of radically reconfiguring the meaning of the “human” in light of the critiques of a unified and bounded subjectivity and, on the other, the insights coming from recent scholarship on affect and feeling about the subject, sociality, and connectivity. Posthumanism stands for diverse …
Affective ontologies: Post-humanist perspectives on the self, feeling and intersubjectivity
Rethinking Species-Being in the Anthropocene
The challenges arising with our new geological epoch—the Anthropocene—call on us to think beyond the human and to consider our species in relation to others. Val Plumwood (2007, 1) has made clear what is at stake here: "If our species does not survive the ecological crisis, it will probably be due to our failure ... to work out new ways to live with the earth, to rework ourselves ... We will go onwards in a different mode of humanity, or not at a…

Sedgwick’s geographies: Touching space
Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick (1950—2009) was one of the founders of queer theory and a significant contributor to the fields of literary theory and philosophy. The four papers in this forum consider the impact and influence her work has had on diverse fields of research in human geography. Specifically, the papers examine how her work on the epistemology of the closet has been materialized and contested by geographers of sexualities; how her queer theor…
Climate Change as Experience of Affect
Dubbed a "wicked problem," climate change is exceeding our ability to agree upon any of the modern repertoire of responses available to us, perhaps most notably a market for carbon trading. Scientists are calling on social scientists and humanities scholars for radical approaches to social transformation. Responding to this call, in this paper we stage a conversation between two scholars across the humanities and social sciences on how new possib…

An Economic Ethics for the Anthropocene
Over Antipode's 40 years our role as academics has dramatically changed. We have been pushed to adopt the stance of experimental researchers open to what can be learned from current events and to recognize our role in bringing new realities into being. Faced with the daunting prospect of global warming and the apparent stalemate in the formal political sphere, this essay explores how human beings are transformed by, and transformative of, the wor…
A Postcapitalist Politics of Dwelling: Ecological Humanities and Community Economies in Conversation
If our species does not survive the ecological crisis, it will probably be due to our failure to imagine and work out new ways to live with the earth, to rework ourselves and our high energy, high consumption, and hyper-instrumental societies adaptively. We struggle to adjust, because we're still largely trapped inside the enlightenment tale of progress as human control over a passive and 'dead' nature that justifies both colonial conquests and c…
Collective action and the politics of affect
Broadening the Horizons of Economy
From corporations to occupied factories, a growing number of widely accessible books and documentary films have emerged to represent an array of economic concerns and the groups gathered around them. Viewed as a new form of political association, these representations offer a lens to contemporary social change. This article draws on theories of performativity to explore the ways in which such diversely constituted assemblies might transform the e…
The Man in the Partnering State: Regendering the Social Through Partnership
Running parallel to contemporary liberal discourse of security, a number of new trends in liberal welfare policy have become vital to postneoliberalism debate: the child, partnerships, inclusion. Employing Wendy Brown's seminal account of the man in state to situate and critique these trends, this article explores changing personage of man in contemporary inclusive liberal state
