Climate without nature
Andrew M Bauer ; Mona Bhan
Climate without nature : a critical anthropology of the anthropocene /Andrew M Bauer - USA : Cambridge University Press. , 2018. - xvi, 167 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
Introduction : materializing climate --
Assembling the anthropocene divide --
On soils, stones, and social relationships of geophysical history --
On glaciers and grass and weather and welfare --
Social welfare without the anthropocene's nature --
Conclusion : toward a critical anthropology of global warming.
This book offers a critical reading of the Anthropocene that draws on archaeological, ecological, geological, and ethnographic evidence. Andrew M. Bauer and Mona Bhan argue that the Anthropocene narrative perpetuates the modernist binary between society and nature, thereby undermining a more inclusive and robust politics of climate change. Their analyses challenge the divisions between humans as biological and geophysical agents that underlie the ontological foundations of the period. Building on contemporary critiques of capitalism, the authors examine different conceptions of human-environment relationships derived from anthropology, notably conservation, environmentalism, and climate change, to engage with the current and pressing problem, global warming.
