242 816f0b92-563c-4b28-958b-7df31bb2c983 Exposed: Environmental Politics and Pleasures in Posthuman Times Stacy Alaimo calibre (4.11.1) [https://calibre-ebook.com] 2016-10-14T22:00:00+00:00 <div> <p>Opening with the statement “The anthropocene is no time to set things straight,” Stacy Alaimo puts forth potent arguments for a material feminist posthumanism in the chapters that follow. From trans-species art and queer animals to naked protesting and scientific accounts of fishy humans, <em>Exposed</em> argues for feminist posthumanism immersed in strange agencies and scale-shifting ethics. Including such divergent topics as landscape art, ocean ecologies, and plastic activism, Alaimo explores our environmental predicaments to better understand feminist occupations of transcorporeal subjectivity. She puts scientists, activists, artists, writers, and theorists in conversation, revealing that the state of the planet in the twenty-first century has radically transformed ethics, politics, and what it means to be human. Ultimately, <em>Exposed</em> calls for an environmental stance in which, rather than operating from an externalized perspective, we think, feel, and act as the very stuff of the world. </p> <h3>About the Author</h3> <p>Stacy Alaimo is professor of English and director of the environmental and sustainability studies minor at the University of Texas at Arlington.
