Nature-Cultures: Narratives of the city beyond human
Resilience Quarterly invites submissions to our second issue Nature-Cultures, exploring new visions and narratives of cities that transcend a human perspective to embrace multispecies relationships. We are specifically interested in short stories, artworks, climate fiction (CliFi), designs, and data visualizations that examine and trouble dystopian visions of a world impacted by climate change.
What can we learn from other species? What are positive visions of the Anthropocene? What does a world beyond human look and feel like? How can CliFi be a space to address issues of equity and justice?
