Kudzu in the Patchy Anthropocene
The Plant at the End of the World
Plants are edging closer to the center of critical inquiry in the Anthropocene because they are intimately tied to legacies of settler colonialism, forced migration, related practices of extractive capitalism, and their environmental and human harm. Ostensibly sessile, plants travel constantly through their adaptations to ensure their survival and reproduction. In the modern period, this movement was taken to unprecedented scale by humans, trigge…

Comp…

It also mobilizes the symbolic associations of ferns, which Kiefer calls “the first plants” but which are reimagin…

Clarissa's economic language reveals her to be an astute exegete of her culture's politics and enables her to redress th…
