Description

Explore the complex relationship between modern fears and the Anthropocene in this academic study from Routledge. Monsters, Catastrophes and the Anthropocene: A Postcolonial Critique examines how European and Western imaginaries shape our understanding of natural disasters, mass migration, and terrorism. By applying a postcolonial lens, the text investigates modern conceptions of monstrosity and catastrophe. This book analyzes established icons from popular visual culture, including sci-fi, doomsday, and horror films and TV series. It also examines images used by news media to trace the history of modern fears back to specific ontologies and logics. The study focuses on the principles of the Anthropocene, specifically looking at how these logics are based on ontologies of exploitation. This work is an essential resource for those studying environmental humanities, film genres, and postcolonial theory.
