Consider, for instance, former Exxon Mobil CEO and US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s remark to the effect that climate change is “an engineering problem and it has engineering solutions.”1 2 According to J.G. Shepherd, “geoengineering is deliberate intervention in the climate system to counteract man-made global warming.”2 He goes on to reference

Her performance as a religiously devout actress in Warren Beatty’s film, RULES DON’T APPLY, won her praise and secured her first Golden Globe Award Nomination in the Best Actress Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy. Collins can be seen in the Netflix hit rom-com series “Emily in Paris” from iconic creator Darren Star. The show, in which Collins plays the titular star and also serves as a producer on, was recently renewed for a second season. In addition to “Emily in Paris,” Collins can be seen in David Fincher’s critically acclaimed Netflix original drama, MANK, about screenwriter Herman J.

  • The Theodicy of the Good Anthropocene
    Environmental Humanities, vol. 7, 2015, pp. 233-238 www.environmentalhumanities.org ISSN: 2201-1919 COMMENTARY The Theodicy of the “Good Anthropocene” Clive Hamilton Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics, Charles Sturt University, Australia To the dismay of those who first proposed it, the Anthropocene is being reframed as an event to be celebrated rather than lamented and feared.1 Instead of final proof of the damage done by techno-industrial hubris, the ‘ecomodernists’ welcome the new epoch as a sign of man’s ability to transform and control nature. They see it as evidence neither of global capitalism’s essential fault nor of humankind’s shortsightedness and rapacity; instead, it arrives as an opportunity for humans finally to come into their own. A few years ago Erle Ellis began to speak of the ‘good Anthropocene,’ an unlikely juxtaposition now amplified into the idea of the ‘great Anthropocene’ and set out in An Ecomodernist Manifesto.2 There are no planetary boundaries that limit continued growth in human populations and economic advance, they argue. ‘Human systems’ can adapt and indeed prosper in a warmer world because history proves our flexibility. In this view, as we enter the Anthropocene we should not fear transgressing natural limits; the only barrier to a grand new era for humanity is self-doubt. Ellis urges us to see the Anthropocene not as a crisis but as “the beginning of a new geological epoch ripe with human-directed opportunity.”3 Romantic critics of technology (and the gloomy scientists they draw on) stand in the way of the vision’s realization.

  • The Walking Dead: the Anthropocene As a Ruined Earth
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Essex Research Repository The Walking Dead: the Anthropocene as a ruined Earth Dr Nicholas Beuret (corresponding author) Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University Email: [email protected] Phone: 07742947921 Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University Lancaster, UK, LA1 4YQ Dr Gareth Brown School of Business, University of Leicester Email: [email protected] Phone: 07910 887 324 School of Business, Ken Edwards Building, University of Leicester University Road, Leicester, LE1 7RH UK Abstract Much has been made of the claim that humanity has ascended to the status of a terrestrial force and inaugurated a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. While attention has been paid to the contestable nature of the epoch and its disputed histories, insufficient attention has been paid to the significance of the Anthropocene for political praXis. Contrary to much Anthropocenic discourse that articulates a renewed sense of mastery over nature through assertions of humanity’s complete subsumption of the environment, recent work in both science and technology studies and human geography suggests an alternate reading of the Anthropocene as an epoch without mastery, one where humanity eXists in a permanent state of vulnerability. The political significance of this state of vulnerability is eXplored through a reading of popular TV show The Walking Dead, a post-collapse narrative of a world in ruins and overrun by zombies. On a ruined earth, political praXis is orientated not towards a return of the earth to its previous productive state, but rather as an unending labour of survival and salvage.
