English | ISBN: 1032508116 | 2024 | 196 pages | EPUB | 1004 KB
This book has two interlocking ambitions. The first is to steer what we purposefully call the idioms of critical philosophy towards a more ecologically informed paradigm. The second is to recognise that what has rightly come to be called The Anthropocene extinction is not and cannot be treated as simply a scientific fact but rather a socio-political and ecological dispute of immense complexity.

From its beginnings, some of German film’s most prominent genres and directors have focused on the natural world and its transformations by humans. Heimat films, "city symphonies," mountain films, and rubble films all blend the boundary between landscape documentary and fiction film. Yet German film studies has been slow to adopt an environmental focus, concentrating (understandably) on its subject matter’s political implications. This book reveals critical connections between German film, sociopolitical context, and environment, showing it to have been a creative catalyst for the social and ecological transformation of the Anthropocene.

English | ISBN: 1478003855 | 2019 | 272 pages | PDF | 14 MB
Between 2009 and 2013 Cymene Howe and Dominic Boyer conducted fieldwork in Mexico’s Isthmus of Tehuantepec to examine the political, social, and ecological dimensions of moving from fossil fuels to wind power. Their work manifested itself as a new ethnographic form: the duograph-a combination of two single-authored books that draw on shared fieldsites, archives, and encounters that can be productively read together, yet can also stand alone in their analytic ambitions.

Free Download Michael J. Gormley, "The End of the Anthropocene: Ecocriticism, the Universal Ecosystem, and the Astropocene "
English | ISBN: 1498594050 | 2021 | 206 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
In The End of the Anthropocene: Ecocriticism, the Universal Ecosystem, and the Astropocene, Michael J. Gormley examines literary imaginings of the Anthropocene’s end and the Astropocene’s beginning-when humans are no longer bound to the blue planet on which we evolved. Gormley analyzes literary images of human tracks on Earth, the Moon, and Mars to characterize the late-stage Anthropocene and to explore humanity’s role in the universal ecosystem. The End of the Anthropocene uses a predictive and paradigmatic model of ecocriticism, examining science fiction works as interplanetary nature narratives.

Ecomobilities examines the ideological connections between automobiles, the environment, and the end of the world, focusing on the car’s inseparability from modern life. Through popular films addressing both mobilities and environmental disasters, Ecomobilities reveals how American automobility has influenced responses to warming temperatures and shifting ecosystems.

Free Download A Philosophical Journey into the Anthropocene: Discovering Terra Incognita by Agostino Cera
English | January 23, 2023 | ISBN: 179363081X | True EPUB/PDF | 232 pages | 1.6/6.9 MB
A Philosophical Journey into the Anthropocene: Discovering Terra Incognita presents the Anthropocene not only as a geological epoch, but rather as the potential métarécit of our age and the most faithful expression of the current zeitgeist. Insofar as the Anthropocene establishes that the human agency as technological omni-power represents a "global geophysical force" capable of altering the destiny of the Earth system, the coming of this new epoch shows that technology now embodies the subject of both history and nature. In this totalized form, technology achieves the status of an integral epochal phenomenon: the new environment for human life.
