This book addresses how people in digital communities during the Anthropocene can become ecologically ready participants who are willing to build a flourishing relationship with the environment through a lens of community and care. The community-care paradigm is theorized as a way of understanding and living in the more-than-human world that is based on a relational ontology, situated knowledges, and ethics of care that takes individuals-in-communities as its basic unit of consideration. The author draws together disparate lines of inquiry—including ancient and contemporary rhetoric, media studies, ethical philosophy, and animal studies—to highlight how the digital discourses occurring in the Anthropocene can help illuminate the partial, processual, active, and rhetorical nature of flourishment of our bodies, our selves, and our environment. Each chapter of the book contributes to theorizing and illuminating how digital rhetorics can provide individuals with ecological readiness, the ability to craft more-than-human worlds of contingent wellbeing, and vulnerable flourishment
