Much of the discussion on the Anthropocene has centred upon
anthropogenic global warming and climate change, and the urgency of
political and social responses to this problem. Animals in the
Anthropocene: Critical Perspectives on Non-Human Futures shows that
assessing the effects of human activity on the planet requires more
than just the quantification of ecological impacts towards the
categorisation of geological eras. It requires recognising and
evaluating a wide range of territories and terrains, full of
non-human agents and interests and meanings, exposed to the
profound forces of change that give their name to the
Anthropocene.It is from the perspective of 'the animal question' -
asking how best to think and live with animals - that Animals in
the Anthropocene seeks to interrogate the Anthropocene as a
concept, discourse and state of affairs. The term Anthropocene is a
useful device for drawing attention to the devastations wreaked by
anthropocentrism and advancing a relational model for human and
non-human life. The effects on animals of human political and
economic systems continue to expand and intensify, in numerous
domains and in ways that not only cause suffering and loss but that
also produce new forms of life and alter the very nature of
species. As anthropogenic change affects the more-than-human world
in innumerable ways, we must accept responsibility for the damage
we have caused and the debt we owe to non-human species.
