Specht, D. and Harper, E.T. (Eds.) (2022). Imagining Apocalyptic Politics in the Anthropocene. Routledge.

Faced with an ongoing climate crisis, the disconnect between environmental science and contemporary politics and policies is potentially the most worthwhile area of study of our age.To do so using the framework of apocalypse imaginaries is an excellent point of entry for the humanities.Imagining Apocalyptic Politics in the Anthropocene, edited by Doug Specht and Earl T. Harper, is a volume that aims to explore the intersection of apocalyptic themes, politics, and the Anthropocene within the field of literary geography.While the book raises concerns regarding its coherence and conceptual framework, it also offers valuable contributions through individual chapters.As a whole, it highlights the challenges inherent in conducting interdisciplinary research and raises important questions about disciplinary boundaries and the use of various methodologies within the field of literary geography.By exemplifying these issues, the volume brings attention to the need for a solid foundation in multiple disciplines to successfully navigate the complexities of the Anthropocene.Recognizing both the threats and the opportunities that arise from interdisciplinary endeavours is vital for scholars seeking to navigate this evolving field successfully.
