Bringing together scholars from English literature, geography,
politics, the arts, environmental humanities and sociology,
Imagining Apocalyptic Politics in the Anthropocene contributes to
the emerging debate between bodies of thought first incepted by
scholars such as Mouffe, Whyte, Kaplan, Hunt, Swyngedouw and Malm
about how apocalyptic events, narratives and imaginaries interact
with societal and individual agency historically and in the current
political moment. Exploring their own empirical and philosophical
contexts, the authors examine the forms of political acting found
in apocalyptic imaginaries and reflect on what this means for
contemporary society. By framing their arguments around either
pre-apocalyptic, peri-apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic narratives
and events, a timeline emerges throughout the volume which shows
the different opportunities for political agency the anthropocenic
subject can enact at the various stages of apocalyptic moments.
Featuring a number of creative interventions exclusively produced
for the work from artists and fiction writers who engage with the
themes of apocalypse, decline, catastrophe and disaster, this
innovative book will be of great interest to students and scholars
of the politics of climate change, the environmental humanities,
literary criticism and eco-criticism.
