Outreach of the AWG in the Media: The Anthroposcene, the Social Sciences, and the Creative Arts
摘要
This chapter, borrowing from research derived from the “Anthropocene Media Project” (Sklair, The Anthropocene in global media: Neutralizing the risk, Routledge 2021), discusses how the members of the AWG engaged with individuals and institutions outside the Earth/geosciences and the consequences of these engagements for the reception of the Anthropocene notion. Media reports and scholarly publications from many countries provide evidence for the idea of the “Anthropo-scene,” introduced by Jamie Lorimer, drawing attention to the appeal of the Anthropocene notion for scholars in environmental humanities, social sciences, and creative arts and, in general, to fields beyond the geological Anthropocene.
