A methodological follow-up to Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet The environmental and climatic
crises of our time are fundamentally multispecies crises. And the Anthropocene a time of
human-made? disruptions on a planetary scale is a disruption of the fabric of life as a whole.
The contributors to Rubber Boots Methods for the Anthropocene argue that understanding the
multispecies nature of these disruptions requires multispecies methods. Answering
methodological challenges posed by the Anthropocene Rubber Boots Methods for the Anthropocene
retools the empirical study of the socioecological chaos of the contemporary moment across the
arts human science and natural science. Based on critical landscape history multispecies
curiosity and collaboration across disciplines and knowledge systems the volume presents
thirteen transdisciplinary accounts of practical methodological experimentation highlighting
diverse settings ranging from the High Arctic to the deserts of southern Africa and from the
pampas of Argentina to the coral reefs of the Western Pacific always insisting on the
importance of firsthand rubber boots? immersion in the field. The methodological companion to
Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet: Ghosts and Monsters of the Anthropocene (Minnesota 2017)
this collection puts forth empirical studies of the multispecies messiness of contemporary life
that investigate some of the critical questions of our time. Contributors: Filippo Bertoni
