Ecopoliticsis a study of environmental awareness - or non-awareness - in contemporary French theory. Arguing that it is now impossible not to think in an ecological way, Verena Andermatt Conley traces the roots of today's concern for the environment back to the intellectual climate of the late 50s and 60s. The author considers key texts by influential figures such asMichael Serres, Paul Virilio, Gilles DeleuzeandFelix Guattari, Michel de Certeau, Hélène CixousandLuce Irigaray. Ecopoliticsrehabilitates some ecological components of French intellectual thought of the past thirty years, and reassesses French poststructural thinkers who explicitly deal with ecology in their work. | Ecopolitics by Verena Andermatt Conley, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
