This book is an urgent invitation, provocation, and proposal to devise possible theories, methods, and practices of eco-entangled, cobwebbed, symbiotic, and chaotic forms of existence between human and more-than-human species.

Despite the production of several policies, coalitions, and doctrines, the root causes of environmental violence, such as the reckless expansion of cities, roads, highways, shopping complexes, and residential areas, remain unaddressed. This book unpacks the dangers of ‘eco-epistemic ambivalences’ and eco-suicidal ‘kamikaze mindsets’ on the one hand, and to realize our response-abilities toward this planet’s natural environment and biodiversity through multiple forms of rhizomatic turns and sub-turns. It thereby presents various rhizomatic methods that can be practiced in everyday life to interweave human and more-than-human knowledge systems.

The book will be of interest for postgraduate students, early-career researchers, and experienced academics engaged in the fields of environmental humanities, cultural studies, urban studies, environmental management, geography, sociology, anthropology, history, critical waste studies, climate change, posthumanities, climate politics, environmentalism, public humanities, critical diversity literacy, teaching and learning methods, and environmental research methods.
