Contribution long abstract:
This contribution to the roundtable will draw on a combination of Blue Humanities and Anthropocene History. We are interested in exploring intersections between technology, time, space and scale where the blue humanities meet other disciplines in order to make sense of the oceanic environment and its meaning for the planet at large. We will discuss how the ocean is increasingly taking up space in the environmental humanities, both benefiting from previous theoretical work in the humanities that can bring out important aspects of ocean environing, and adding new perspectives to Anthropocene studies by making visible the historical agency of the human and also non-human world.
