Feminist Reconfigurings of Alien Encounters

<p><em>Feminist Reconfigurings of Alien Encounters </em>reclaims the notion of alien encounters together with strange but queerly loved companions: Vulgar slugs diatoms (micro-algae) and familiars (spirit guides of witches). The book’s three human co-authors ask: what would it take to establish more-than-human bio- and geo-egalitarian co-existence on a planet in trouble?</p><p>This playfully crafted mixed-genre book is informed by feminist posthumanisms and co-created with a spectral community of more-than-humans who are respectfully summoned to contribute with their perspectives. In focus of the entangled artistic-philosophical-poetic investigations are questions of ethics aesthetics and methodologies to co-exist response-ably rather than based on modern human beliefs in exceptionalism and entitlement to sovereignty control and conquest of more-than-human worlds. </p><p><i>Feminist Reconfi gurings of Alien Encounters </i>is intended for broad global audiences of researchers teachers professionals NGOs politicians students from undergraduate to postgraduate levels artists writers activists and artivists who are interested in entangled artistic-poetic-philosophical modes of understanding the world as well as in ecology new feminist materialism critical posthumanism and questions about radically rethinking and reimagining human/more-than-human relations on Earth.</p>
