We live in a new world: the Anthropocene. The Age of Man is defined in many ways, and most dramatically through climate change, mass extinction, and human marks in the geological record. Ideas of the Anthropocene spill out from the geophysical sciences into the humanities, social sciences, the arts, and mainstream debates--but it's hard to know what the new coinage really means. This book argues that this age should subvert imperial masculinity and industrial conquest by opening up the plural possibilities of Anthropocene debates of resilience, adaptation, and the struggle for environmental justice
Plural ships on plural seas -- Pluralize the anthropocene! -- Six human postures -- Anachronism as method -- "Now, now, very now!" -- Errant nature -- The neologismcene -- Acting human. Being posthuman -- Acknowledgments.
