Nonhuman Subjects

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of indigenous politics and environmental activism, this book examines the concept of 'earth-beings'—non-sentient entities like mountains, boulders, and sacred stones. It challenges traditional Western views of personhood by highlighting the agency of these geobodies and their roles in social movements. Through diverse examples, including landscapes and contemporary art, the narrative reveals the complex relationships between humans and nonlife, emphasizing the ecological and cultural significance of these often-overlooked entities.
