Anthropozän?

The causes of climate change and biodiversity loss are rooted in cultural habits and aesthetics that have not been challenged for centuries. Identifying and challenging them will help to warn the world about cultural practices that may be leading to planetary catastrophe.
This introduction to Anthropocene discourse delves into the cultural history of ecology, asking both about the invention of nature in words and images and about the human being (Anthropos) who poses ecological questions. A critique of colonialism, neo-materialist thinking and the role of ecocritical image analysis are central to an examination of these issues.
With a foreword by Prof. Dr. Oliver Jehle.
