Klappentext Defends and transforms naturalism and materialism to show how culture itself is formed by nature. Bryant endorses a pan-ecological theory of being, arguing that societies are ecosystems that can only be understood by considering nonhuman material agencies such as rivers and mountain ranges alongside signifying agencies such as discourses, narratives and ideologies. Zusammenfassung What sort of interaction is there between! for example! slow-moving objects like climate and comparatively fast-moving objects like governments? Using real-world examples! the author shows how a networked concept of space and time is at the heart of our central political concerns.
