Ecologies of Gender: Contemporary Nature Relations and the Nonhuman Turn delves into the intricate interplay of gender and the nonhuman turn in the humanities, offering a critical exploration of its implications for a contemporary understanding of gender and nature relations. This interdisciplinary volume brings together contributions from various fields, including cultural anthropology, cultural studies, film studies, literary studies, media studies, philosophy, and theatre studies. Through a comprehensive analysis of specific nature-cultural processes, the essays in this volume shed light on the construction of ecologies of gender, revealing how aesthetic, epistemological, political, technological, and economic practices shape multispecies and material interrelations, as well as spatial and temporal orderings.

The volume is organized around four key dimensions: creatures, materials, spaces, and temporalities. By examining these dimensions, the book aims to explore the potentialities and limitations of the nonhuman turn for a critical analysis and theory of ecologies of gender, ultimately contributing to both the environmental humanities and gender studies.

This book will appeal to scholars and students from diverse interdisciplinary fields, including environmental humanities, environmental studies, gender studies, and cultural theory. It offers valuable insights into the complex relationships between gender, nonhuman entities, and the natural world, challenging traditional understandings and paving the way for new perspectives and methodologies.
