There are many different ways of conceptualising nature in epistemological terms, reflecting the tensions between the polarities of humans as masters or protectors of nature and as part of or outside of nature. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book shows how nature is today the focus of numerous debates, calling for an approach which goes beyond the merely technical or scientific. It adopts a threefold - critical, historical and cross-disciplinary - approach in order to summarise the current state of knowledge. It includes contributions informed by the humanities (especially history, literature and philosophy) and social sciences, concerned with the production and circulation of knowledge about \"nature\" across disciplines and across national and cultural spaces. The volume also demonstrates the ongoing reconfiguration of subject disciplines, as seen in the recent emergence of new interdisciplinary approaches and the popularity of the prefix \"eco-\" (e.g. ecocriticism, ecospirituality, ecosophy and ecofeminism, as well as subdivisions of ecology, including urban ecology, industrial ecology and ecosystem services). Each chapter provides a concise overview of its topic which will serve as a helpful introduction to students and a source of easy reference.　 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis text is also valuable reading for researchers interested in philosophy, sociology, anthropology, geography, ecology, politics and all their respective environmentalist strands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAur?lie Chon?\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor in German Cultural Studies at the Faculty of World Languages and Cultures, University of Strasbourg, France. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIsabelle Hajek\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor in Sociology at the Institute for Urbanism and Regional Development, University of Strasbourg, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhilippe Hamman\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Sociology at the Institute for Urbanism and Regional Development, University of Strasbourg, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 268\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 15, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47343216394489,"sku":"9781138214934","price":118.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/i_zH590s3K9781138214934.webp?v=1769718767","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/rethinking-nature-challenging-disciplinary-boundaries-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
