IR - Dublin, Ireland - UCD: The Anthropocene is a term widely used since its coining in the early twenty-first century to refer to the present geological time interval, in which many conditions and processes on Earth are profoundly altered by human impact. Used in a variety of cultural and scientific contexts, the Age of the Anthropocene has become core to debates amongst researchers, conservationists, poets, philosophers, politicians and activists. This module explores the Anthropocene through the work of writers, visual and performance artists in the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America.
