This collection emphasizes a cross-disciplinary approach to the
problem of scale, with essays ranging in subject matter from
literature to film, architecture, the plastic arts, philosophy, and
scientific and political writing. Its contributors consider a
variety of issues provoked by the sudden and pressing shifts in
scale brought on by globalization and the era of the Anthropocene,
including: the difficulties of defining the concept of scale; the
challenges that shifts in scale pose to knowledge formation; the
role of scale in mediating individual subjectivity and agency; the
barriers to understanding objects existing in scalar realms
different from our own; the role of scale in mediating the
relationship between humans and the environment; and the nature of
power, authority, and democracy at different social scales.
