Mobilizing a rich theoretical apparatus from Adorno to Foucault, Luigi Pellizzoni explores the ground for a new ontological politics that promises to overcome the world of instrumental reason. --Thomas Lemke, author of The Government of Things. Foucault and the New Materialisms Drawing on a rich source of theoretical literature, and by analyzing a wealth of contemporary examples - such as carbon markets, geoengineering, biotechnology, and human enhancement - this book shows how traditional distinctions have broken down, such as descriptive and normative, real and virtual, predictable and indeterminate, society and nature. But it does not stop at critically examining perspectives and concepts; it also shows new theoretical and practical ways of orienting ourselves and acting in this complex world. --Rolf Lidskog, �rebro University Author InformationLuigi Pellizzoni is professor of environmental sociology and political ecology at Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa.
