Accordingly, we analyse the coalescence of ecological and democratic crises. In Turkey, populism's anthropocentric construction of "the will of the people" exacerbates ecological collapse. But also, ecological collapse inspires a search for a politics and ethics that acknowledge human"?nonhuman ecological entanglements. The contestation between de"?and re"?materialising speculation underscores possibilities and limitations of ecological politics in contexts of populism and post"?truth.
