This book positions Italy at the forefront of critical plant studies, bringing together interdisciplinary essays on literature, philosophy, ethics, art, and cinema to rethink vegetal life across 100 years of Italian culture. Engaging key figures from the sciences and the humanities, the volume highlights Italy’s pivotal role in the posthumanist reconfiguration of plant–human relations. By foregrounding vegetal agency, ecological entanglement, and innovative forms of eco-activism and aesthetics, the collection offers a timely and original contribution to environmental humanities and the rapidly expanding field of critical plant studies.
