Does the Anthropocene work as a suitable cultural-analytical figure of thought?
Do we see more clearly if we operate with a term that has been transferred
from the natural sciences into numerous social fields and causes continuing
troubles there? Or does the cocky speech of the humankind as a geological
force rather conceals concrete conflict situations on the ground?

With the background of these questions, the presentations are dedicated to
significant images, actors and capital structures in the Anthropocene. The
results of a 2-semester research and study project at the Institute for Cultural
Anthropology and European Ethnology at the University of Graz will be
presented and discussed with guests from the fields of art and science.
The contributions draw power struggles over land and resources, deconstruct
romantic images of human-animal relations, search for traces between art and
compost - and invite us on a relational journey into the Anthropocene.
