ABSTRACT

This chapter draws the handbook to a close in three ways. First, it provides a summary of the multiple ways in which more-than-human studies address the future, with illustrations taken from the authors featured in the collection. More-than-human studies operate on a number of levels and pursue multiple objectives but looming large among these are its applications to the problems of climate change. Related to that, the second part of the chapter considers one of Bruno Latour’s (with Nikolaj Schultz) last writings on the emergence of an ecological class, and the third part considers a possible way in which that might be enacted, where it matters, through walking in a place like Britain – which in the year before COVID-19 struck was named the world’s most internationally travelled nation.
