By implementing an interdisciplinary dialogue between science, philosophy, literature, and the arts, the book aims to highlight the potential of the creative imagination in shifting perceptions about the life continuum of which humans are part. It takes stock, both critically and artistically, of the current reconceptions of modes of understanding the world and of being in the world. In order to do so, it gathers together contributions calling on major theorists of new material and posthuman feminism, such as Donna Haraway, Jane Bennett, Rosi Braidotti, Elizabeth Grosz, or Stacy Alaimo, to provide both a panorama of ecofeminist critical theory and close readings of contemporary works, among which short and long fiction, poetry, and experimental writing. To illustrate the present-day alterations to anthropocentric representation, it explores a variety of metamorphoses: Becoming-Minor, Becoming-Venomous, Becoming-Insect, Becoming-Night, Becoming-Ekphrastic, in other words queering the human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmilie Walezak\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Contemporary British Literature, Nantes Université, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 November 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032387172\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51955716325516,"sku":"9783032387172","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032387172","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
