- Summary:
- "Archives of the Anthropocene examines how visual inscriptions-from geological maps to photographs and films of snow, ice, and coral reefs-assisted the construction and codification of vertical and extractive modes of seeing Earth's subterranean depths and aerial heights. Focusing specifically on the shifting boundaries and territorial ambitions of archipelagic empires of Japan and the United States in the twentieth century, Yuriko Furuhata explores the overlapping moments between the geoscientific history of studying Earth's deep time and the geopolitical history of settler colonization, territorialization, militarization, and extraction in the Pacific and the polar regions. By engaging with contemporary critiques of settler colonialism, liberal humanism, human exceptionalism, and nonhuman labor, the book gestures beyond the species-centered narrative of the Anthropocene, calling to imagine the anti-colonial and anti-imperial future of the planet"-- Provided by publisher.
