The New Political: Reconfiguring the Human and the Non-Human
Inquiries into science studies, animal rights, and climate change are building up the foundations of a ‘new political’ in our times. Current theorizing and the charge of the ‘new political’ is co-evolving with capitalism as it intensifies its extractive relationship to nature. The planet can well do without us humans; rather it is our survival that is contingent both on living and non-living nature.
We now seek to remake the political by postulating rights of non-human nature, deliberating the agency of matter and reckoning with precarity as the earth’s present condition. The ongoing attempts at reforming politics are not without ifs and buts... and so we shall look into the continuing force of inclusions by legacy and troubling exclusions.
