In their own right, both are discrete areas of politics, theory, practice, and resistance. But as climate and migration are increasingly imagined together as a singular relation, they are giving rise to new horizons of meaning in politics, philosophy, media, art and literature. Life Adrift is a collection of essays from across the interpretive social sciences and humanities which treats climate change and migration as a relation that demands theoretical and historical explanation, rather than a problem requiring technical and expert solutions. The result is a unique collection, offering readers a means for reconceptualising migration and environmental changes as a site of politics and of political possibility. Along the way it addresses a range of topics current in cultural and political theory, including democracy, place, neoliberalism, humanism, materiality, borders, affect, race and sexuality. If climate change stands to redistribute humans and material across the globe, then Life Adrift offers a set of critical resources for analysing this coming phenomenon and reimaging what it might mean to be political in a fully immanent world of bodies in flux.Language: EnglishItem Height: 238mmItem Length: 159mmItem Width: 26mmItem Weight: 576gContributor: Giovanni Bettini (Edited by), Andrew Baldwin (Edited by)Genre: Science Nature & MathBook Series: Geopolitical Bodies, Material WorldsCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBAuthor: Giovanni BettiniTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
