New modes of Hope have emerged in the Anthropocene, increasingly grounded in an ethics of attentiveness and responsibility. Through incorporating contemporary approaches to both theory and policy practice, including critical, feminist, black and indigenous perspectives, this book analyses how Hope works with the uncertainties and interdependencies of human agency and interaction. It draws out the problems of integrating Hope into governance and policy management, and engages with Hope as a potentially negating force, in a world which can be seen as one of unending catastrophe.

Industry Reviews

Hope is not commonly associated with the Anthropocene and its catastrophic implications. Without some positive hope - that is, recognition, planning, experimentation, invention and, above all, a new relation to the earth - we cannot face the unknowns that lie ahead. This book explores what a guarded and strategic hope, a 'dark hope, ' might add to our understanding of what lies ahead.

--Elizabeth Grosz, author of The Incorporeal: Ontology, Ethics and the Limits of Materialism
