This is a piece on what matters for feminist scholarship, today at large. I describe here the need for a critical and creative research endevour that moves beyond the confines of humanistic humanities and deploys a relationa ethics appraoch to the more-than-human. Such environmental, post- , multispecies-, and /or technohumanities depicts the co-constitutive aspects of embodied and environed subjectivity in the postnatural situation often called the Anthropocene. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari's multi-minoritarian approach, the artist and scholar Mirko Nikolic defines a minor ecology that I find most instructive for such practices of feminist posthumanities (Nikolić i).

Taking Turns is an open forumfor brief and rapid assessments of changes emerging in the field, and its discontents. In this series, we invite both Nordic and non-Nordic scholars to present their take on contemporary challenges for feminist scholarship and gender research. In this issue, we are handing the baton over to Stacy Alaimo, Professor of English at the University of Texas, Arlington, USA. Dr Alaimo’s research interests include nineteenthand twentieth-century multicultural American literatures; critical theory; feminist theory; cultural studies, green cultural studies; science studies; environmentalism and feminism; environmental health, environmental justice, environmental ethics; emerging theories of materiality in environmental feminism, corporeal feminism, and science studies; science, literature, and art of sea creatures. Her first book, Undomesticated Ground: Recasting Nature as Feminist Space (Cornell, 2000), explores the work of North American women writers, theorists, and activists from the early nineteenth century to the late twentieth century, arguing that “nature” has been a crucial site for a wide range of feminist cultural interventions. Material Feminisms, edited with Susan J. Hekman (Indiana UP, 2008), charts emerging models of materiality in feminist theory, bringing together environmental feminism, corporeal feminism, feminist science studies, and disability studies. Her most recent book, Bodily Natures: Science, Environment and theMaterial Self (Indiana UP, 2010), argues that focusing on “trans-corporeality”—the movement across human bodies and non-human nature—profoundly alters our sense of human subjectivity, environmental ethics, and the individual’s relation to scientific knowledge. Her next book, Sea Creatures and the Limits of Animal Studies: Science, Aesthetics, Ethics, will explore
