This book offers the first critical, multi-disciplinary study of
how the concepts of resilience and the Anthropocene have combined
to shape contemporary thought and governmental practice. Faced with
the climate catastrophe of the Anthropocene, theorists and
policymakers are increasingly turning to 'sustainable', 'creative'
and 'bottom-up' imaginaries of governance. The book brings together
cutting-edge insights from leading geographers, international
relations scholars and philosophers to explore how the concepts of
resilience and the Anthropocene challenge and transform prevailing
understandings of Earth, space, time and knowledge, and how these
transformations reshape governance, ethics and critique today. This
book examines how the Anthropocene calls into question established
categories through which modern societies have tended to make sense
of the world and engage in critical reflection and analysis. It
also considers how resilience approaches attempt to re-stabilize
these categories - and the ethical and political effects that
result from these resilience-based efforts. Offering innovative
insights into the problem of how environmental change is known and
governed in the Anthropocene, this book will be of interest to
students in fields such as geography, international relations,
anthropology, science and technology studies, sociology, and the
environmental humanities.
