Remembering the Anthropocene: Memorials Beyond the Human: Palgrave Macmillan Memory Studies

Autor Clara de Massol de Rebetz
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 feb 2024
This book provides a definition of the developing field of environmental memory studies. It reflects on the possibilities, challenges, prospects and limitations of culturally and collectively remembering (in) the Anthropocene. Located at the intersection of environmental humanities and memory studies, the analysis draws on and surveys a series of Anthropocene-related memorials, from a sculpture lost in Welsh waterways to cat colonies and perennial chickens. This leads to an examination of different memory agents across histories – past, present and future – and an investigation of memorialisation politics under new ecological regimes, within and beyond the human.
