520 $a"This book introduces the feral citizen as a response to a perceived need to revitalize the disruptive, critical and exploratory nature of democratic culture. It is claimed that by learning from the traditions of aimless walking and by embracing a consciously feral method of political engagement, radically democratic citizens can prompt political moments that create the conditions where the primacy of the political can be performed, realized and defended. Ultimately, the purpose of this book is not to solve the problems and paradoxes of democracy but to assist in unleashing and celebrating them. The book concludes by utilizing the methodology of feral citizenship - inspired by the environmentalism/democracy articulation - to re-prioritize the political within the green public sphere and re-claim the necessary (and welcome) tension between representations of nature and political citizenship"--$cProvided by publisher.
