Species and Machines: The Human Subjugation of Nature

Martyn Hudson

4.9/5 (31198 ratings)

Description:This book offers a re-examination of the relationship between humans and nature with a new methodology: by examining our entanglement with machines. Using central ideas of critical theory, it uncovers the suppression of nature through technology, tools and engines. It focuses on the ways in which human social forms have actively subjugated and destroyed other species in order to enhance their own social power and accumulation, leading to a new Anthropocene epoch in which human intervention is signalled in the geological record.Beginning with account of the interactions between humans and other species, the book moves to explore the hidden history of Marx and his obsession with machines, as well as new attempts to rethink a Marxist ecology, before proceeding to examine the manner in which technologies were used to suppress and destroy one particular species - the Whale of what we call the Cetacean Holocaust. Following this, there is analyses of the emergence of the 'human encampments' of the cities and the rise of mobile, locomotive cultures, and consideration of the relationship between machines of memory, and the 'capturing' of nature.A radical rethinking of classical social theory that develops new ways of thinking about ecological catastrophe and nature, this book will appeal to scholars of social theory and environmental sociology.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
