Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity

<p>The <em>Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity</em> brings the ecological turn to sociocultural understandings of self. The editors introduce a broad insightful assembly of original theory and research on planetary positionalities in flux in the Anthropocene – or what in this Handbook cultural ecologist David Abram presciently renames the Humilocene a new “epoch of humility.” Forty international authors craft a kaleidoscopic lens focusing on the following key interdisciplinary inquiries:</p><p><strong>Part I</strong> illuminates identity as always ecocultural expanding dominant understandings of who we are and how our ways of identifying engender earthly outcomes.</p><p><strong>Part II</strong> examines ways ecocultural identities are fostered and how difference and spaces of interaction can be sources of environmental conviviality.</p><p><strong>Part III</strong> illustrates consequential ways the media sphere informs challenges and amplifies particular ecocultural identities.</p><p><strong>Part IV</strong> delves into the constitutive power of ecocultural identities and illuminates ways ecological forces shape the political sphere.</p><p><strong>Part V</strong> demonstrates multiple and unspooling ways in which ecocultural identities can evolve and transform to recall ways forward to reciprocal surviving and thriving.</p><p>The<em> </em><em>Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity</em> provides an essential resource for scholars teachers students protectors and practitioners interested in ecological and sociocultural regeneration.</p><p><strong>The Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity has been awarded the 2020 Book Award from the National Communication Association's (USA) Environmental Communication Division.</strong></p>
