The essays are organized around two key figures that also serve as the publicationвЂ™s two openings: Ghosts, or landscapes haunted by the violences of modernity and Monsters, or interspecies and intraspecies sociality. This timely anthology calls on twenty eminent humanists and scientists to revitalize curiosity, observation, and transdisciplinary conversation about life on earth.ДЄs human-induced environmental change threatens multispecies livability, Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet puts forward a bold proposal: entangled histories, situated narratives, and thick descriptions offer urgent вЂњarts of living.вЂќ Included are essays by scholars in anthropology, ecology, science studies, art, literature, and bioinformatics who posit critical and creative tools for collaborative survival in a more-than-human Anthropocene.
