Abstract

This commentary takes up Ruddick's ((2017) Rethinking the subject, reimagining worlds. Dialogues in Human Geography ) imperative to reimagine subjectivity against the backdrop of the current ecological crisis. It contextualizes Ruddick's reading of Deleuze and Guattari's becoming-animal with a broader trajectory of Deleuze's work on subjectivity. It does so in order to question how a shift from the liberal humanist subject to constructivist and relational models of subjectivity might be beneficial as we grapple with the concept of the human in the Anthropocene.
