Description
A small wetland hidden under a railway embankment, a strangely shaped tree during a walk in the forest, a Coca-Cola bottle from a very peculiar dump, and the pencil you use to take notes while reading. Anthropocenities is a collection of essayistic texts that make the complex topic of the Anthropocene accessible to a broad audience through portraits of diverse entities, artifacts, and natural objects. The authors present seemingly ordinary details in short chapters as results of the intricately interconnected phenomena and movements of the contemporary world, as a peculiar hybrid reality, inextricably both natural and cultural, spontaneous and unpredictable, yet firmly tied to purpose-driven human activity. The book illustrates with clear examples how to see the world in anthropocenic contexts.
