Second Nature

Rethinking the Natural Through Politics

Herausgeber: Archer, Crina; Maxwell, Lida; Ephraim, Laura

Beschreibung

This volume examines the nature/politics relationship anew in the wake of recent critiques of the category of "nature." Its essays draw on contemporary and canonical thinkers to reflect on "second nature" as a site or paradigm of political contest and intervene into debates about environmentalism, human rights, and more.
