Planetary Realism looks at how artists are finding new ways to bring the biospheric crisis and related social crises into sensation and ethical action.
In the devastating aftermath of capitalist modernity and globalization announced by climate crisis, humanity is awakening out of its fossil-fuelled somnambulance. As capitalist realism clings on with increasingly bloody insistence, artists across genres, styles and cultures have a unique capacity to open up channels to an underlying planetary real.
The book contains chapters on environmental feeling and sensation as transformative capacities, the rupture of petro-modernity, eco-aesthetic communes, diasporic aesthetics and migration politics.
