"Navigating from the White Anthropocene to the Black Chthulucene offers a consideration of Buster Keatons classic 1924 film, The Navigator, from the combined perspectives of critical race theory, especially Black Studies, and posthumanism. The principle argument that the book puts forward is that Keatons film exemplifies in its treatment of non-white characters and animals an antiblack logic that also is at work in Keatons cinema more generally. More than this, the book engages with how Keaton is a central figure in discourses surrounding early cinema, playing a notable role in the film-philosophical thinking of Gilles Deleuze, and in the film-ecological thinking of Jennifer Fay. The book charts, then, how Keatons film can help to tease out the otherwise unexamined whiteness - and by extension the antiblackness - of both Deleuzes thinking and that of ecological theory more broadly"--.
