Anthropocene Campus | Filtering the Anthropocene, presented by Marco Armiero and Will Steffen

Presented by Marco Armiero (Environmental Humanities Laboratory, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) and Will Steffen (Climate Change Institute, Australian National University, Canberra)
Co-developed with Amita Baviskar (Institute of Economic Growth, Delhi)
Large, overarching global issues are closely connected with people’s concerns, livelihoods, well-being, etc., that matter at local and regional levels. Physical events and extreme climate phenomena can be understood in terms of their interaction with different positions in social settings and biophysical landscapes. The seminar examines how anthropogenic experiences like these are filtered through the lens of the Anthropocene by selective processes, themselves being shaped by the politics of knowledge as well as preexisting ideas and societal frame conditions.
