Anthropologies of Entanglement develops a new and inspiring approach to understanding our contemporary condition of the “Mediocene”, in which the human and natural spheres are indissolubly intertwined with and permeated by media. Its key word, “Anthropomediality,” convincingly suggests to conceive the human existence as mediatic; the relation comes before the related. The 16 contributions by international authors from a broad variety of fields brilliantly discuss the entanglements that precede all forms of reification and anthropogenesis.
