Keywords

  • Animation of subjectivity and recognition of co-inhabitation-embraced in recent work on animal studies
  • Disciplinary divisions, characterizing work of human geographers-concerned with human-nonhuman relations after the end of nature
  • End of Nature, fertile ground-for relational approaches to politics of nature/the environment
  • Geography and geographers-disentangling matters of fact, concerns that put knowledge at risk
  • Idea of a singular Nature, essence of objects removed from Society and revealed by Science-facing extinction
  • Implications for geographies and geographers
  • Multinatural geographies-multiple modalities of multinaturalism, animating more than human geography
  • Philosophers and social scientists, sustaining assaults-upon dualistic ontology and objective epistemology of modern Science
  • Tales being followed, case made for unstable and relational ontologies-new geographies and alternative relationships between science and politics
  • Work concerned with immanence and vital materialism-documenting methodological and epistemological problems, the virtual-predicting, preventing or nurturing future emergence
