Among the baselines considered by the group have been the first recorded use of fire by hominins around 1. This places the start of the Anthropocene simultaneous with the start of the nuclear age. We currently produce around m tonnes of plastic globally each year. Because plastics are inert and difficult to degrade, some of this plastic material will find its way into the strata record. Among the future fossils of the Anthropocene, therefore, might be the trace forms not only of megafauna and nano-planktons, but also shampoo bottles and deodorant caps — the strata that contain them precisely dateable with reference to the product-design archives of multinationals.

What will survive of us is plastic — and lead, the stable isotope at the end of the uranium decay chain. It concerns the huia, an exquisite bird of New Zealand that was made extinct in the early 20th century due to habitat destruction, introduced predators and overhunting for its black and ivory tail feathers.

The 100 million city: is 21st century urbanisation out of control?

The huia vanished before field-recording technologies existed, but a version of its song has survived by means of an eerie series of preservations: a sound fossil. In order to lure the birds to their snares, the Maori people learned to mimic the huia song. This mimicked song was passed down between generations, a practice that continued even after the huia was gone. The intellectual elegance of her work — and its exemplary quality as an Anthropocene-aware artefact — lies in its subtle tracing of the technological and imperial histories involved in a single extinction event and its residue.

Anthropocene art is, unsurprisingly, obsessed with loss and disappearance. A third of all amphibian species are at risk of extinction. The current extinction rate for birds may be faster than any recorded across the m years of avian evolutionary history. We exist in an ongoing biodiversity crisis — but register that crisis, if at all, as an ambient hum of guilt, easily faded out. Like other unwholesome aspects of the Anthropocene, we mostly respond to mass extinction with stuplimity: the aesthetic experience in which astonishment is united with boredom, such that we overload on anxiety to the point of outrage-outage.

Art and literature might, at their best, shock us out of the stuplime.

Five Grammatical Errors That Make You Look Dumb

Their work — sometimes jointly authored — is minutely attentive to the specificities of the gone and the will-be-gone. Place names and plant names assume the status of chants or litanies: spectral taxa incanted as elegy, or as a means to conjure back. In Succession , Skelton and Richardson studied palynological records to reconstruct lists of the grasses and flowers that flourished in the western Lake District after the end of the Pleistocene. Such a feeling is appropriate to the Anthropocene, in which we have erased entire biomes and crashed whole ecosystems.

Their writing often moves back through the Holocene and into its prior epochs, before sliding forwards to imaginary far futures. They send ghost emissaries — foxes, wolves, pollen grains, stones — back and forth along these deep-time lines. Perhaps the greatest challenge posed to our imagination by the Anthropocene is its inhuman organisation as an event. It involves millions of different teleconnected agents, from methane molecules to rare earth metals to magnetic fields to smartphones to mosquitoes.

Its energies are interactive, its properties emergent and its structures withdrawn. In Timothy Morton adopted the term hyperobject to denote some of the characteristic entities of the Anthropocene. Among the examples Morton gives of hyperobjects are climate change, mass species extinction and radioactive plutonium.

Episodic in assembly and dispersed in geography, some outstanding recent non-fiction has proved able to map intricate patterns of environmental cause and effect, and in this way draw hyperobjects into at least partial visibility.

What Is Linguistic Style?

Her ecosystems stretch from wood-wide webs of mycelia, through earthworms and pine roots, to logging trucks and hedge funds — as well as down into the flora of our own multispecies guts. Like Skelton in his recent Beyond the Fell Wall , and the poet Sean Borodale , Tsing is interested in a vibrant materialism that acknowledges the agency of stones, ores and atmospheres, as well as humans and other organisms. The worst of this collapse culture is artistically crude and politically crass. Such scarcity narratives unsettle what we might call the Holocene delusion on which growth economics is founded: of the Earth as an infinite body of matter, there for the incredible ultra-machine of capitalism to process, exploit and discard without heed of limit.

Meanwhile, however, speculative novelists — Andy Weir in The Martian , Kim Stanley Robinson in Red Mars — foresee how we will overcome terrestrial shortages by turning to asteroid mining or the terra-forming of Mars. To misquote Fredric Jameson, it is easier to imagine the extraction of off-planet resources than it is to imagine the end of capitalism. The novel is the cultural form to which the Anthropocene arguably presents most difficulties, and most opportunities. Historically, the novel has been celebrated for its ability to represent human interiority: the skull-to-skull skip of free indirect style, or the vivid flow of stream-of-consciousness.

But what use are such skills when addressing the enormity of this new epoch? Any Anthropocene-aware novel finds itself haunted by impersonal structures, and intimidated by the limits of individual agency. In a near-future Suffolk, animate oil rigs haul themselves out of the sea, before drilling down into the coastal strata to lay dozens of rig eggs.

These techno-zombies prove impervious to military interventions: at last, all that humans can do is become spectators, snapping photos of the rigs and watching live feeds from remote cameras as they give birth — an Anthropocene Springwatch. It describes an expedition into an apparently poisoned region known as Area X, in which relic human structures have been not just reclaimed but wilfully redesigned by a mutated nature.

A specialist team is sent to survey the zone. It gradually becomes apparent that Area X, in all its weird wildness, is actively transforming the members of the expedition who have been sent to subdue it with science.

As the idea of the Anthropocene has surged in power, so its critics have grown in number and strength. Cultural and literary studies currently abound with Anthropocene titles: most from the left, and often bitingly critical of their subject. Across these texts and others, three main objections recur: that the idea of the Anthropocene is arrogant, universalist and capitalist-technocratic.

Universalist, because the Anthropocene assumes a generalised anthropos , whereby all humans are equally implicated and all equally affected. And capitalist-technocratic, because the dominant narrative of the Anthropocene has technology as its driver: recent Earth history reduced to a succession of inventions fire, the combustion engine, the synthesis of plastic, nuclear weaponry.

The monolithic concept bulk of this scientific Anthropocene can crush the subtleties out of both past and future, disregarding the roles of ideology, empire and political economy. Moore argues that the Anthropocene is not the geology of a species at all, but rather the geology of a system, capitalism — and as such should be rechristened the Capitalocene. Perhaps the Anthropocene has already become an anthropomeme: punned and pimped into stuplimity, its presence in popular discourse often just a virtue signal that merely mandates the user to proceed with the work of consumption.

I think, though, that the Anthropocene has administered — and will administer — a massive jolt to the imagination. Philosophically, it is a concept that does huge work both for us and on us. In its unsettlement of the entrenched binaries of modernity nature and culture; object and subject , and its provocative alienation of familiar anthropocentric scales and times, it opens up rather than foreclosing progressive thought. Their work — sometimes jointly authored — is minutely attentive to the specificities of the gone and the will-be-gone. Place names and plant names assume the status of chants or litanies: spectral taxa incanted as elegy, or as a means to conjure back.
