Abstract

This chapter brings together critical scholarship concerning environmental law and its subject with Haraway’s reflections on the ‘Anthropocene’, as well as insights from New Materialism, in order to trouble some counter-productive and eco-destructive assumptions haunting the ‘Anthropos’ of the ‘Anthropocene’. The author uses these reflections to suggest potential lines of thought for the reimagination of environmental law’s ‘subjects’ and for moving beyond the trajectories and tropes underlying environmental law in its manifestation as an intensifying form of neoliberal governmentality.
