The Anthropocene melt : Antarctica's geologic politics
The Anthropocene has become the impulse through which a large number of disciplines across the academy are appraising, debating or redefining conceptions of nature-culture. Antarctica offers a distinctive way of approaching this concept: the region has always presented itself as an inherently future...

The Anthropocene has become the impulse through which a large number of disciplines across the academy are appraising, debating or redefining conceptions of nature-culture. Antarctica offers a distinctive way of approaching this concept: the region has always presented itself as an inherently futures-oriented problem and a serious test for humanity's coordinated capacity to exercise foresight. This involves not only protecting the region's fragile ecosystems, but also rethinking our species as part of (and in relation with) nature, and moblising novel experiments with living differently in the Anthropocene. This short essay discusses how Antarcita is an important object through which to think the Anthropocene. |
