Museums and the Implicit Anthropocene
The Anthropocene – our mooted new geological epoch defined by the unequalled and irreversible impact made by the human species on the Earth’s systems – remains hidden in plain sight in the London Science Museum’s Energy Hall. The staging of an explicit cultural remembrance of modern national progress, driven by the fossil-fuelled, steam-engine technology of the Industrial Revolution, is predicated upon an “implicit” (Erll, 2022), potential memory…
Introduction – Climate Witnessing
This introduction outlines the conceptual framework of climate witnessing, a new approach to memory, testimony and cultural engagement with environmental crisis in the Anthropocene. Building on foundational theories of trauma and testimony developed in Holocaust and memory studies, we trace how witnessing has evolved in response to planetary-scale transformations. Expanding the category of witness to include non-human entities, ecological assembl…
Introduction
The call for papers for this collection on “The Rising Tide of Climate Change Fiction” arose from concerns about pessimistic assessments, in recent literary criticism, of the novel’s ability to meet the representational challenges posed by the pressing planetary problem of climate change. The contributions to this volume take issue with that pessimism and take stock of the novel’s capabilities
Memory studies and the Anthropocene
The essays gathered here are slightly revised versions of the position papers presented as part of the roundtable on “Memory Studies and the Anthropocene” at the MLA Convention in Philadelphia in January 2017. What sparked this roundtable is the increasing currency of the Anthropocene, on the one hand, and the observation that the field of memory studies has lately begun to grapple with its implications in earnest, on the other. The participants,…
Speculative memory, the planetary and genre fiction
Our new geological epoch of the Anthropocene is characterised by the primacy of humanity’s catastrophic agency in shaping the planet and is evident in the record left behind by that agency’s inscriptions in the Earth’s strata. Recent literary criticism and theory, its sense of temporality and spatiality recalibrated, has sought an interpretive methodology for reading the planetary and the geological in literature. Of particular issue is scale and…
Climate Change Fiction and the Future of Memory
Climate Change Fiction and the Future of MemorySpeculating on Nathaniel Rich’s Odds against Tomorrow Rick Crownshaw (bio) The new geological epoch of the Anthropocene can be broadly defined by the primacy of human agency as a geophysical force (see Crutzen and Stoermer 2000; Crutzen 2002). Although there are varying interpretations around the Anthropocene’s inception date, the consensus points to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and its…
Dispersal and redemption
Perpetrator Fictions and Transcultural Memory
Photography and memory in Holocaust museums
Recent trends in Holocaust studies have addressed how forms of memorialization might transmit a cultural memory of genocide to those who did not witness the event. In particular, the theorization of memory's transmission has attended to the traumatic reverberations of the event that might be felt by those who did not witness it and which might actually provoke remembrance of a kind in this generation. In turn, this tendency within (some) Holocaus…
