Professor Noel Castree, The University of Manchester, Professor of Geography

Public lecture hosted by the Innovation and Engagement Unit.

‘The Anthropocene’ has morphed from a neologism to a buzzword in the academic world, but has yet to become a keyword in the wider world. An unusually big and future facing idea with far-reaching implications for the present, the Anthropocene may in time become part of the lingua franca in the commercial, political and public realms.

This lecture engages in some ‘anticipatory semantics’. It explores who might seek to represent the Anthropocene, including but going beyond the epistemic community of scientists who have so far made most of the discursive running.
