What is nature?) and argues brilliantly for ontologies that are systemic patternments of textuality and humanicity. This is a fearless book that will deepen and intensify the kinds of feminist questions that can be asked in the generation ahead.”—\u003cb\u003eElizabeth A.

It is a theoretically sound and robust challenge to our most deeply held ideas about nature versus culture. Provocative, smart, and invigorating, it is a book to think with, one with far-reaching implications for science studies, cultural studies, and poststructuralist, feminist, queer, political, and social theory.”—\u003cb\u003eKaren Barad\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eMeeting the Universe Halfway: Quantum Physics and the Entanglement of Matter and Meaning\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Vicki Kirby’s \u003ci\u003eQuantum Anthropologies\u003c\/i\u003e: Life at Large has the capacity to influence a wide range of contemporary scholars ranging from the humanities to the natural sciences and back again.
