The Anthropocene and the Undead describes how our experience of an
increasingly erratic environment and the idea of the undead are
more closely linked than the obvious zombie horde signaling the end
of the world. In fact, as described here, much of how we understand
the anthropocene both conceptually and in practice involves undead
entities from the past that will not die, undead traumas that rise
up and consume the world, and undead temporalities that can never
end. fifteen original essays by cultural and anthropological
experts such as Kyle William Bishop, Nils Bubandt, Johan Hoeglund,
and Steffen Hantke, among others, study the nature of humanity's
ongoing complicated relationship to the environment via the concept
of the undead. In doing so, The Anthropocene and the Undead sheds
invaluable light on adjacent concepts such as the Capitalocene,
Necrocene, Disanthropocene, Post-anthropocene, and the Symbiocene
to trace real and imagined trajectories of our more-than-human
selves into undead and undying futures.
