Within the heightened consciousness of hubris and vulnerability encoded in the Anthropocene discourse, how do we comprehend the human place in nature and analyse the multiple scales of time, space, and capital movements that characterize specific socio-natures?Addressing the methodological challenge of studying metabolic relations, flows, and processes across these multiple scales, \u003cem\u003eEnvironmental Studies from India\u003c\/em\u003e brings together distinguished scholars who explore such questions from diverse disciplinary perspectives. Empirical studies grounded in specific contexts are employed to develop a perspective suited to a society saturated with Anthropocene discourses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume is structured around five interwoven themes: \u003cem\u003ereframing space, rethinking the region\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003ecommons and commodification\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eenvironmental subjectivities and socio-natures\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003emetabolic social ecologies and infrastructural labour\u003c\/em\u003e; and \u003cem\u003ethe Anthropocene as everyday experience\u003c\/em\u003e. Each section comprises essays that approach the theme from different angles, encouraging conversations rather than coherence across disciplinary boundaries. From rivers and marshes to forests, grasslands, orchards, fields, cities, and industries, contributors draw from diverse landscapes in India to develop pathways for Environmental Studies that can effectively engage with the contemporary planetary crisis.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46559670370455,"sku":"9780198984092","price":1047.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198984092.webp?v=1767968652","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/environmental-studies-from-india-engaging-with-the-planetary-ecological-crisis-9780198984092","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
