This book questions the dominance of the capitalocene through the existence of social aesthetic and records the affective encounters that facilitate the creation of planetary identity, affinity, and entanglements. With discussions on architecture, poetry, rap music, romantic literature, performance art, digital fashion, Instagram, Netflix shows, YouTube videos, moving image practices, eco-sexual movements, and graphic narratives, the chapters in this volume initiate a conversation on what it means to inhabit the world today.
An important contribution, this book will be of interest to students and researchers of environmental humanities, planetary humanities, affect studies, digital humanities, and media studies, besides also being of interest to those studying interdisciplinary critical/cultural theory, Television and film studies, philosophy, and architectural theory.
Reviews / Votes
"This remarkable book of essays theorizes and performs a new planetary worldling emergent in cultural, visual, digital, architectural and place-based aesthetics. Here, planetary entanglements take place in the multiplicitous, more-than-human compositions of ordinary scenes, or in traumas, or sexualities becoming palpable in rap music, performance art, practices of travel, instapoetry, children's games, fan practices, graphic narratives, and YouTube reaction videos. Once-submerged forms of world-making proliferate, both weighted and alive with beautiful and dangerous potential."Kathleen Stewart

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
