SUMMARY:Anthropocene (Post)Humanities
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores the place, transformation, and reconcept
 ualization of the (post)human in Anglophone literature and film about clima
 te change in the age of the Great Acceleration (post 1950). Literary writer
 s and theorists have responded to the Anthropocene by foregrounding the lim
 itations of traditional understandings of the human in a number of differen
 t ways. Some recent debates have explored the challenges of conceptualising
  species-level and trans-personal causality without losing sight of the une
 qual global distribution of risk and precarity that results from climate ch
 ange. Other conversations have drawn attention to the fact that the ontolog
 ical domains of nature, culture, and technology that were once thought to b
 e distinct have in fact always been inextricably intertwined. Accordingly, 
 different concepts of the posthuman are currently discussed across the huma
 nities to theorise this decentring and enmeshment of the human in non-human
 , technological, and economic networks. Finally, many ecowriters and critic
 s are calling for a move away from anthropocentric and towards biocentric p
 erspectives. Entering into dialogue with these ongoing debates, this worksh
 op will focus on the continued importance and resilience of concepts of the
  human in cultural conversations about the Anthropocene.
