This volume is a critical investigation into the contemporary phenomenon of the dissensus of the globe and the planet, and the new terrains of consciousness that need to be negotiated towards a possibility for transformation. It examines the possibilities of alternate, sustainable modes of being and existing in a world which requires a unified, ethical, biopolitical worldview. The book explores themes like philosophical posthumanism and planetary concerns; disruption of cultural and intellectual inequality; bodily movement through nomadic subjectivity; dystopic spatialities of game(re)play; globalization, and speculative imaginaries of the body; and theory of multiplicity. It also discusses the impact of COVID-19 on human beings, the role of the neoliberal media, the question of rights of robots and cyborgs in sci-fi movies, and representation of refugees in literature.

This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of English literature, political philosophy, cultural studies, literary cultures, post-colonial studies, critical theory, and social anthropology.

Industry Reviews

"This rich volume covered a wide range of philosophical, literary and ethical materials to place the work of the imagination its widest spatial contexts, ranging from the intimate to the planetary. The authors explore the actual, possible and probable terrains of the ethics of humanity in an epoch in which global challenges appear to be subsumed by the planetary crisis."

- Professor Arjun Appadurai

"This collection of essays is a valuable addition to the growing field of Anthropocene studies. Concerned with the globe, the earth, and our times, the essays included here dwell on planetary ethics in speculative, real, and imagined spaces. This book will speak to our sense of the present."

- Professor Dipesh Chakrabarty
