Transculturality Beyond the Human 4
from mass extinction to climatic variation. There are various terms associated with the current
situation – Plantationocene, Anthropocene, Chthulecene, Capitalocene, White-Supremacy-cene,
and many others – however, whatever it is referred to, what it appears to claimare clear actions
of concentration to the intricate processes that human beings become in, significant associations
with others (Malhotra2015vpg. 614). Based on this provocation, multispecies researchers are
reframing and exploring political dilemmas: how do capitalism, colonialism, and their relatedun-
even power associations play a role within a bigger network of life? What should be conserved in
the postnatural universe? How should the human beings rethink after the bursting of the
anthropocentric bubble? What kinds of dutiesare necessitated, and how might people learn to
react to one another, maybe better processes to the societiestaking form in “blasted landscapes.”
The complex and significant questions covered by multispecies researchers in a given
way: through placing themselves into the lives of microorganisms, fungi, plants, and animals. In
such a way, the area of multispecies studies targets to bring fresh discoveries for the
collaborative and disciplinary studies (Yu 2015 pg. 130). While both “the environment” and “the
animal,” have in the past decades been the subject of fresh types of scholarly examination in the
social and human sciences, multispecies research have faced much critiques from other scholars
due to various situations that seem not to be answered by these studies.
