| Author | Vermeulen, Pieter, 1980- author. |
| Title | Literature and the anthropocene / Pieter Vermeulen. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource. |
| Series | Literature and contemporary thought |
| Contents | Introduction: Naming, Telling, Writing- the Anthropocene -- Anthropocene Agencies. Forms, Lives, Forms of Life -- Genres, Media, Worlds -- Objects, Matters, Things -- Anthropocene Temporalities. Dominations -- Emergencies -- Residues. |
| Summary | "The Anthropocene has fundamentally changed the way we think about our relation to nonhuman life and to the planet. This book is the first to critically survey how the Anthropocene is enriching the study of literature and inspiring contemporary poetry and fiction. Engaging with topics such as genre, life, extinction, memory, infrastructure, energy, and the future, the book makes a compelling case for literature's unique contribution to contemporary environmental thought. It pays attention to literature's imaginative and narrative resources, and also to its appeal to the emotions and its relation to the material world. As the Anthropocene enjoins us to read the signals the planet is sending and to ponder the traces we leave on the Earth, it is also, this book argues, a literary problem. Literature and the Anthropocene maps key debates and introduces the often difficult vocabulary for capturing the entanglement of human and nonhuman lives in an insightful way. Alternating between accessible discussions of prominent theories and concise readings of major works of Anthropocene literature, the book serves as an indispensable guide to this exciting new subfield for academics and students of literature and the environmental humanities"-- |
