“This book will send many readers in search of what Michel Serres’s work might illuminate in the present condition of the world. The authors unravel some of anthropology’s conceptual straightjackets, thereby suggesting the discipline’s potential for rethinking the Anthropocene. Serres, they hint, saves the baby of an adventurous humanism while draining away the politically dirtied bathwater of disciplinary intolerance.”
- Michael Herzfeld, Harvard University,
“<i>Porous Becomings</i> teems with immersive connectivity, opening new registers of sensemaking, flourishing, potentiality, and flux. This urgent and extraordinary collection traverses strata of existence that far exceed the human, yet slows the trip to inspire vital anthropological imaginations for our troubled times.”
- Adriana Petryna, author of, Horizon Work: At the Edges of Knowledge in an Age of Runaway Climate Change
