The Anthropocene is the proposed name for a geologic epoch in which humans have become the major force determining the continuing livability of the earth. In this class, we will look at current cultural discourses about the Anthropocene and discuss texts by leading theorists such as Karen Barad, Donna Haraway, Anna Tsing and Amitav Gosh while looking at activist projects and their representations. Please purchase Amitav Gosh's (2016) The Great Derangement. Climate Change and the Unthinkable (ISBN: 9780226526812) and Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet (2017) edited by Tsing, Swanson, Gan and Bubandt (ISBN: 978-1-5179-0237-7).
