Inhaltsangabe

This open access book explores the excesses, distortions and perverse effects that emerge when art and popular culture refuse reverence for nostalgic views on nature. Developing Phoebe Wagner's pioneering concept of the environmental grotesque, the book's authors argue that the problem is not ignorance of the crisis but rather poverty in our imaginative responses. Grotesque Anthropocene thus offers a needed rupture of our current ecological sensibilities, attending to the productive ambiguities of works across media, from art and literature to film and television.
