Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet

What does it mean to live—and survive—on a damaged Earth?

This groundbreaking anthology brings together twenty leading voices in science, the humanities, and the arts to explore the tangled relationships between humans, nonhumans, and the planet we share. From haunted landscapes to unexpected interspecies alliances, Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet challenges us to rethink life in the Anthropocene.

Organized around the themes of Ghosts (landscapes haunted by the violences of modernity) and Monsters (interspecies and intraspecies sociality), these essays spark urgent, imaginative conversations about ecology, resilience, and the creative possibilities of coexistence in a time of environmental crisis.
