Introducing the study of econostalgias through a variety of rich ethnographic cases, this volume argues that a strictly human centered approach does not account for contemporary longings triggered by ecosystem upheavals. In this time of climate change, this book explores how nostalgia for fading ecologies unfolds into the interstitial spaces between the biological, the political and the social, regret and hope, the past, the present and the future.

Olivia Angé is a Professor of Anthropology at Université Libre de Bruxelles. Besides a series of papers, she is the author of Barter and Social Regeneration in the Argentinean Andes (Berghahn, 2018), and co-editor of Anthropology and Nostalgia (Berghahn, 2014).
