Against the anthropocene : visual culture and environment today
-
A critique of the discourse on the Anthropocene and the creative alternatives to it to be found through the arts, sciences, and humanities.
This book argues that the Anthropocene terminology works ideologically in support of a neoliberal financialization of nature, anthropocentric political economy, and endorsement of geoengineering as the preferred—but likely disastrous—method of approaching climate change. To democratize decisions about the world's near future, we urgently need to subject the Anthropocene thesis to critical scrutiny and develop creative alternatives in the present.
