Ecopolitics : the environment in poststructuralist thought
Material type:
TextPublication details: London ; New York : Routledge, 1997Description: xii, 188 pISBN: 0415102847; 0415103061 (pbk.)Subject(s): Political ecology | Green movementDDC classification: 363.7 Summary: Ecopolitics is 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 as Michael Serres, Paul Virilio, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Michel de Certeau, Hélène Cixous and Luce Irigaray. Ecopolitics rehabilitates 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.
