This is in direct parallel to Guattari's own attempt to break down the 19th century Kantian dialectic between man, art, and world, in favour of a non-hierarchical, transversal approach, to produce a more ethical and ecologically sensitive world view. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter author analyses artworks which critique capitalism's industrial devastation of the environment, while at the same time offering affirmative, imaginative futures suggested by art. Including contributions from philosophers, film theorists and artists, this book asks: How can we interact with the world in a non-dominant and non-destructive way? How can art catalyze new ethical relations with non-human entities and the environment? And, crucially, what part can philosophy play in rethinking these structures of interaction?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eColin Gardner \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Critical Theory and Integrative Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA where he teaches in the departments of Art, Film and Media Studies, Comparative Literature and the History of Art and Architecture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatricia MacCormack\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Continental Philosophy, Anglia Ruskin University, UK, researching and writing on Deleuze, Guattari, Irigaray and Serres, poshumanism, ethics, animal rights, body modification, queer theory, transgression and horror film.
