Ecologies and Technologies of Feminist Posthumanities

Asberg argues that the efficacy of present and future feminist scholarship will depend on its ability to address, in a synergistic mode, the entangled challenges of rampant social injustice, environmental change, and loss of biological diversity in the context of an understanding of the ways in which science, media, and technology are embedded in society, our bodies, and ourselves. That is what matters most: the integrative capacity of feminist knowledge practices in situ, in a world of both enormous estrangement and potential for fulfilling the needs for a new sense of belonging. Instead of pitching the human against either technology or the naturalized world, various types of human activities (gender, art, language, and science) are always technical, social, and always already material: part of emerging or existing ecologies. The argument here is for versatile feminist research that can respond with relational, contextual, and "transcorporeal" insights, descriptions, and political propositions for how to consume, cohabit, and think better, together, within various types of such Anthropocene ecologies.
