From the late 1970s, Timothy W. Luke has developed critical analyses of significant social, political, and cultural conflicts, with a particular focus on the entangled politics of culture, economy, and nature. Luke’s “ecocritiques,” many of which first appeared in the pages of Telos, advance a critical theory of the contemporary that takes aim at our ongoing ecological crisis, a period marked by rapid climate change, extensive biodiversity loss, and deep ecospheric damage. The essays collected here range across diverse topics, from the politics of the Anthropocene, Paolo Soleri’s Paperback • $29.95 • 304 pages urban design experiments, the Unabomber ISBN 978-0-914386-75-9 manifesto, the Trump administration’s attacks on environmental protections, and the informationalization of ecological change, to community agriculture projects, deep ecology, the symbolic politics of climate change treaties, Edward Abbey’s ecological writings, and the biopolitics of and the Dark Enlightenment. Praise for Anthropocene Alerts “Tim Luke is a leading critical theorist of his generation. These lively, varied essays analyze incisively sociopolitical and cultural responses to accelerating ecological problems that threaten life on the planet and civilization, as we have known them.” —Robert J. Antonio, Professor of Sociology, University of Kansas “Luke astutely unpacks the intricate relationships between capitalist political economy, culture, and nature that undergird and reinforce these devastating developments. A must-read for critical theorists, activists, and concerned citizens!” —Bradley J. Macdonald, Professor of Political Science, Colorado State University
