Their collaborative practice pioneered a way of drawing together art and ecology. They closely observed, often with irony and humour, how human intervention disrupts the dynamics of life as a web of interrelationships. The authors of this book think with' the Harrisons, critically tracing their poetics as a reimaging and reconfiguring of the arts in response to the unfolding planetary crisis. They draw parallels between the artists' poetics and rethinking in the philosophy of science, particularly drawing on the work of Isabelle Stengers and Alfred North Whitehead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThinking with the Harrisons\u003c\/em\u003e is for anyone concerned with the implications of ecol\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leuven University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50473227452759,"sku":"9789462704268","price":34.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789462704268.jpg?v=1744905787","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/thinking-with-the-harrisons-9789462704268","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
