 ABSTRACT

The Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity brings the ecological 
turn to sociocultural understandings of self. The editors introduce a 
broad, insightful assembly of original theory and research on planetary 
positionalities in flux in the Anthropocene – or what in this Handbook 
cultural ecologist David Abram presciently renames the Humilocene, a new 
“epoch of humility.” Forty international authors craft a kaleidoscopic 
lens, focusing on the following key interdisciplinary inquiries:

Part I illuminates identity as always ecocultural, expanding dominant 
understandings of who we are and how our ways of identifying engender 
earthly outcomes.

Part II examines ways ecocultural identities are fostered and how 
difference and spaces of interaction can be sources of environmental 
conviviality.

Part III illustrates consequential ways the media sphere informs, 
challenges, and amplifies particular ecocultural identities.

Part IV delves into the constitutive power of ecocultural identities and 
illuminates ways ecological forces shape the political sphere.

Part V demonstrates multiple and unspooling ways in which ecocultural 
identities can evolve and transform to recall ways forward to reciprocal 
surviving and thriving.

The Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity provides an essential 
resource for scholars, teachers, students, protectors, and practitioners 
interested in ecological and sociocultural regeneration.

The Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity has been awarded the 2020 
Book Award from the National Communication Association's (USA) 
Environmental Communication Division.
