Introduction: Symbiosis as a Living Evolving Critique

Different species, interacting in a symbiotic fashion, living together over a prolonged period of time, eventually co-evolving into new species: this vision of the biological phenomenon of symbiosis has created a strong image, both of symbiosis as a metaphor and a material reality, of species in an intimate relationship together, cooperating in spite of differences; of becoming something else and transgressing boundaries. This image has made the concept of symbiosis, in its many guises and definitions, a breeding ground for, amongst others, a biologically, posthuman and ecologically informed critique. Less focused on the biological process of symbiosis as such, here the focus is more on how symbiosis can be used as a means to argue for ‘a better world’ or an alternative worldview... (more)
