Textul de pe ultima copertă
Alliances in the Anthropocene examines how human impacts on the planetary system are being felt at all levels, from the geological and the arboreal to the atmospheric. Christine Eriksen and Susan Ballard examine the agency of fire, plants and people within a changing climate. They embrace the narratives of bushfire survivors and responses of contemporary artists, as practice and experience become interwoven with fire, ruin and regrowth. From Aboriginal ecocultural burning and wildfire to nuclear fire, the authors show how relationships come to be and are likely to change due to human and non-human interdependencies in the Anthropocene.
Caracteristici
Provides a unique exploration of the alliances between fire and plants, plants and humans, and humans and fire Offers a cross-disciplinary opportunity to think about the agency and inter dependencies of humans, other-than-humans, elements and material ecologies in the disciplines of human geography and art history Drawing on conversations with people who have experienced bushfires, and placing these narratives alongside discussions of contemporary art, the book provides insights into how relationships come to be and are likely to change due to interdependencies between fire, plants and human existence in the Anthropocene
