Brings together leading theorists of culture and science to discuss the concept of 'nature'. Recent developments in biotechnologies, electronic media and ecological politics are discussed .

"FutureNatural" brings together theorists of culture and science to discuss the concept of "nature"--its past, present and future. Contributors discuss the impact on our daily life of recent developments in biotechnologies, electronic media and ecological politics, addressing the issue of whether political and cultural debates about the body and the environment can take place without reference to "nature" or the "natural." This collection considers how we might think a future developing from emergent scientific theories and discourses.

'FutureNatural is a fascinating anthology that largely carries out its editorial brief of discussing how to speak of and about the future of 'nature' in political and cultural approaches these essays reflect very well the complex scientific and cultural debates that swirl about in popular culture and academia.' - Australian Feminist Studies, 1999, No 29'A collection well worth reading for its diversity and insights.' - Bettina Lange, Capital & Class
