Ecocriticism on the Edge: The Anthropocene as a Threshold Concept. Clark, T. Bloomsbury, London, 2015. abstract bibtex In one way or another, the chapters in this book all deal with the Anthropocene and the environmental destruction that has taken (and will take) place during this time period. The book’s relevance to trauma studies comes in its coinage of the term “Anthropocene disorder,” a “psychic disorder” caused by the “disjunction” (140, both quotes) between the severity of climate change and our inability to 1) mentally grasp this severity; and 2) take meaningful action to mitigate this severity in practice. Ultimately, however, words like “disjunction” and “psychic disorder” suggest that Anthropocene disorder is simply trauma by another name.
