ANTHROPOCENE Irish Pages, Volume 11, Number 1 - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Editors of Irish Pages – Chris Agee, Cathal Ó Searcaigh, Kathleen Jamie and Meg Bateman – have assembled a new issue of the journal, entitled “The Anthropocene.” It aims to evoke the escalating global ecological crisis in the round, through many of its key components, including climate change, deforestation, the treatment of animals, oceanic pollution and over-fishing, the melting of glaciers, extinctions, land-use, plastic pollution and the waste crisis, the eco-vandalism of mining and the fashion industry, the extermination of indigenous peoples and languages, biodiversity and ecocide generally, and so on – and on. • A certain amount of poetry and prose deals with humanity and human consciousness more generally, in their historical, cultural, psychological, artistic and religious dimensions. • There is also a special section devoted to writing on the Pandemic. • As with other issues, however, there is also work included that does not bear explicitly on the theme of the issue.
