Visual Anthropocenes
₹500.00

When Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer proposed the term Anthropocene at the turn of the millennium, they gave geology a name for what many disciplines had already begun to recognise: that human activity had become a force visible in strata, ice cores, atmospheric chemistry, and planetary transformation (Crutzen and Stoermer 2000). The concept quickly became a cultural and narrative problem as much as a geological one, raising questions about how environmental transformation is experienced, represented, remembered, and resisted. This volume, Visual Anthropocenes, begins from the premise that literature, cinema, television, and popular culture are not simply illustrations of an ecological crisis first defined by science; they are among the cultural forms through which the Anthropocene becomes intelligible, giving narrative structure, bodies, landscapes, and futures to processes that otherwise appear only as abstract measurements and planetary statistics.
