Excellent- More about What Comes after Entanglement?: Activism, Anthropocentrism, and an Ethics of Exclusion
Contemporary cultural theorists have sought to move beyond an anthropocentric worldview, but Eva Haifa Giraud contends that these theories can undermine scope for political action. She calls for an ethics of exclusion that emphasizes foreclosures in the context of human entanglement to foster the conditions for people to create meaningful political change.

Contemporary cultural theorists have aimed to transcend an anthropocentric worldview by emphasizing the interconnectedness of human existence with other entities. However, as Eva Haifa Giraud argues in her book "What Comes after Entanglement?" these theories may limit the scope for political action. Giraud draws inspiration from activist projects spanning from the 1980s to the present, including anticapitalist media experiments, vegan food activism, and social media campaigns against animal research. Through her exploration, Giraud seeks to identify possibilities for action while addressing the tensions between theory and practice.
Rather than relying solely on an activist ethics centered on relationality and entanglement, Giraud advocates for an ethics of exclusion. This ethics focuses on the entities, practices, and ways of being that are foreclosed when other entangled realities are realized. By highlighting foreclosures within the context of human entanglement, Giraud aims to create the conditions for meaningful political change.
