Feeling the Anthropocene: Air, Rock, Flesh

Feeling the Anthropocene: Air, Rock, Flesh

The Edinburgh Environmental Humanities Network is hosting an event this autumn on the Anthropocene. Not only has the Earth become sensitive to the activities of humans, or least certain strata of humanity, but increasingly, ways of life­—human and more-than-human alike—under late capitalism have become increasingly sensitive to Earth forces.

How do we sense the Anthropocene Earth? What does it mean that the Earth feels us? What might a politics that feels the Earth look like? The symposium will examine such questions—and others—through three elements that tie life together: air, rock, and flesh.
