Reihe: Routledge Literature Companions

The Routledge Companion to the Environmental Humanities provides a comprehensive, transnational, and interdisciplinary map to the field, offering a broad overview of its founding principles while providing insight into exciting new directions for future scholarship. Articulating the significance of humanistic perspectives for our collective social engagement with ecological crises, the volume explores the potential of the environmental humanities for organizing humanistic research, opening up new forms of interdisciplinarity, and shaping public debate and policies on environmental issues.

Sections cover:

- The Interdisciplinary Matrix of the Environmental Humanities

- Views from around the Globe

- The Reimagination of Time in the Anthropocene

- The Environmental Subject and the Challenge of Posthumanism

- The Environmental Humanities and the Question of Scale

- The Environmental Humanities and Social Justice

The first of its kind, this companion covers essential issues and themes, necessarily crossing disciplines within the humanities and with the social and natural sciences. Exploring how the environmental humanities contribute to policy and action concerning some of the key intellectual, social, and environmental challenges of our times, the essays offer an ideal guide to this rapidly developing field.
