The Anthropocene is a concept which challenges the foundations of
humanities scholarship as it is traditionally understood. It calls
not only for closer engagement with the natural sciences but also
for a synthetic approach bringing together insights from the
various subdisciplines in the humanities and social sciences which
have addressed themselves to ecological questions in the past. This
book is an introduction to, and structured survey of, the attempts
that have been made to take the measure of the Anthropocene, and
explores some of the paradigmatic problems which it raises. The
difficulties of an introduction to the Anthropocene lie not only in
the disciplinary breadth of the subject, but also in the rapid pace
at which the surrounding debates have been, and still are,
unfolding. This introduction proposes a conceptual map which,
however provisionally, charts these ongoing discussions across a
variety of scientific and humanistic disciplines. This book will be
essential reading for students and researchers in the environmental
humanities, particularly in literary and cultural studies, history,
philosophy, and environmental studies.
