Confronted with an unprecedented scale of human-induced environmental crisis,
there is a need for new modes of theorizing that would abandon human exceptionalism and anthropocentrism and instead focus on developing environmentally ethical
projects suitable for our times. In this paper, we offer an anti-anthropocentric project
of an ethos for living in the Anthropocene. We develop it through revisiting the
notion of sustainability in order to problematize the linear vision of human-centric
futurity and the uniform ‘we’ of humanity upon which it relies. We ground our
analyses in posthumanism and material feminism, using works by posthumanist and
material feminist thinkers such as Stacy Alaimo, Rosi Braidotti, Donna Haraway and
Jane Bennett, among others. In dialogue with them, we offer the concept of posthuman sustainability that decenters the human, re-positions it in its ecosystem and,
while remaining attentive to difference, fosters the thriving of all instances of life.
