TY - GEN T1 - Exterranean : extraction in the humanist Anthropocene T2 - Meaning systems. A1 - Usher, Phillip John LA - English PP - New York PB - Fordham University Press YR - 2019 ED - First edition. UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_dda_on1083100204 AB - Exterranean concerns the extraction of stuff from the Earth, a process in which matter goes from being sub- to exterranean. By shifting emphasis from emission to extraction, Usher reorients our perspective away from Earthrise-like globes and shows what is gained by opening the planet to depths within. Both historicist and speculative in approach, Exterranean eschews the self-congratulatory claims of posthumanism and lays the groundwork for a comparative ecocriticism that reaches across periods and languages.
