Feral Atlas: The More-than-Human Anthropocene

Abstract

This article reviews Feral Atlas, a collaborative project edited by Anna L. Tsing, Jennifer Deger, Alder Keleman Saxena, and Feifei Zhou, with contributions from scholars across the sciences and humanities as well as high-profile artists. Feral Atlas is also both an invitation and a distraction, and this purposive ambiguity amplifies what the editors have offered as a call to reflect on the “patchy” and “feral” Anthropocene. The collaborative, transdisciplinary curation of seventy-nine field reports is an intentionally open-ended digital project,1 aimed at rewarding curiosity and offering a digital space for reflection on the “more-than-human” aspects of everyday life, specifically the entanglements of infrastructural and “natural” landscapes.
