This volume weaves together a variety of perspectives aimed at
confronting a spectrum of ethico-political global challenges arising in
the Anthropocene which affect the future of life on planet earth. In
this book, the authors offer a multi-faceted approach to address the
consequences of its imaginary and projective directions. The chapters
span the disciplines of political economy, cybernetics,
environmentalism, bio-science, psychoanalysis, bioacoustics, documentary
film, installation art, geoperformativity, and glitch aesthetics. The
first section attempts to flesh out new aspects of current debates.
Questions over the Capitaloscene are explored via conflations of class
and climate, revisiting the eco-Marxist analysis of capitalism, and the
financial system that thrives on debt. The second section explores the
imaginary narratives that raise questions regarding non-human
involvement. The third section addresses 'geoartisty, ' the counter
artistic responses to the speculariztion of climate disasters,
questioning eco-documentaries, and what a post-anthropocentric art might
look like. The last section addresses the pedagogical response to the
Anthropocene.
