DESCRIPTION:discussing the subject of her new book\n\nStaying with the Trouble: Making 
 Kin in the Chthulucene\n\nfrom Duke University Press\n\nIn the midst of 
 spiraling ecological devastation, multispecies feminist theorist Donna J. 
 Haraway offers provocative new ways to reconfigure our relations to the 
 earth and all its inhabitants. She eschews referring to our current epoch 
 as the Anthropocene, preferring to conceptualize it as what she calls the 
 Chthulucene, as it more aptly and fully describes our epoch as one in which 
 the human and nonhuman are inextricably linked in tentacular practices. The 
 Chthulucene, Haraway explains, requires sym-poiesis, or making-with, rather 
 than auto-poiesis, or self-making. Learning to stay with the trouble of 
 living and dying together on a damaged earth will prove more conducive to 
 the kind of thinking that would provide the means to building more livable 
 futures. Theoretically and methodologically driven by the signifier 
 SF—string figures, science fact, science fiction, speculative feminism, 
 speculative fabulation, so far—Staying with the Trouble further cements 
 Haraway's reputation as one of the most daring and original thinkers of our 
 time.\n\nDonna J. Haraway is Distinguished Professor Emerita in the History 
 of Consciousness Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz, 
 and the author of several books, most recently, Manifestly Haraway. 
 Professor Haraway is a prominent scholar in the field of science and 
 technology studies. She has recieved numerous awards including from the 
 Society for Social Studies of Science and a J.D. Bernal Award. Dr. 
 Haraway's works have contributed to the study of human-machine and 
 human-animal relations. Her work has sparked debates in primatology, 
 philosophy, and developmental biology.\n\n
