Power in the Anthropocene offers a unique approach to the study of power in a time of multiple ecological crises. Drawing on insights from Jane Bennett, Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour, and others, the book introduces a new materialist framework and opens up innovative avenues for expanding democracy and political mobilization. The book is the first of its kind to link the study of power to debates about the Anthropocene, and it outlines a new agenda for interdisciplinary research that combines insights from both the natural sciences and the social sciences, including ecofeminism, sustainability science, indigenous studies, and environmental political theory.
Lars Tønder is Professor of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He is the author of Tolerance: A Sensorial Orientation to Politics (Oxford University Press, 2013) and co-editor of Radical Democracy: Politics Between Abundance and Lack (Manchester University Press, 2005). His current research interests include climate change, democratic theory, social movements and political contestation.
