Anthropocene Austria: book presentation

Vienna Anthropocene Network & UCC Eco-Humanities

Join us for an online launch & discussion with the editors of the latest volume of Austrian Studies.

This online event marks the publication of volume 30 of Austrian Studies. &#x27;Anthropocene Austria&#x27; examines the presence of the now well-established paradigm of the Anthropocene — which perceives humanity as a geological force that leaves an indelible trace on the fabric of the planet — in Austrian literature and culture. In eleven wide-ranging contributions, the volume highlights the entanglements of Austrian literature, film and contemporary culture with environments and ecologies in the age of climate breakdown. Join us for an online launch and discussion with the editors Dr Nicola Thomas (Lancaster University) and Prof. Caitríona Ní Dhúill (University College Cork / University of Salzburg), in conversation with Prof. Dr. Eva Horn (University of Vienna / <a href="https://anthropocene.univie.ac.at/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Vienna Anthropocene Network</a>) <a href="https://anthropocene.univie.ac.at/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Vienna Anthropocene Network</a> event in cooperation with <a href="https://www.ucc.ie/en/eri/research/eco-humanities-research-group/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">University College Cork Eco-Humanities Research Group</a>.
