Samenvatting
Consisting of contributions from international scholars in diverse fields, Beauclair and Toth’s collection asks how humanity might free “nature” from the demands of human action and human thought without mendaciously reinscribing humanity’s distance from it or denying a proximity that is only traversable by artificial means.
Consisting of contributions from a host of international scholars (in fields as diverse as literature, architecture, philosophy, and education), Alain Beauclair and Josh Toth’s Nature and Its Unnatural Relations: Points of Access intercedes in ongoing debates about accessing, defining, and respecting a world humans continue to misuse and misunderstand—and that, as a result, is becoming increasingly inhospitable. The chapters shuttle between a variety of aesthetic and philosophical concerns—from theology and Biblical interpretation to colonialism, hermeneutics, phenomenology, worlding, posthumanism, and speculative realism. These varied approaches are united by a single aporetic thread: efforts to surmount the problem of “human access” invariably risk repeating (ever more blindly) the violence and immorality of anthropocentrism. We seem trapped in the cul-de-sac of the Anthropocene. To discover potential new exits, the contributors consider whether it is possible or advisable to abandon so-called “correlationism”—of art, of literature, of technology. If it is, then how? If not, how might we more ethically reembrace our innately corruptive relations with a world of non-human others? How might we free “nature” (finally) from the demands of human action and human thought without mendaciously reinscribing humanity’s distance from it or denying a proximity that is only traversable by artificial means?
