The lecture was part of the wider symposium “Languages of the Anthropocene”: www.ucl.ac.uk/anthropocene/pr...
Against Gramsci’s hesitation in The Prison Notebooks about using energy regimes as a historical device, this talk will present new perspectives from the Warwick School of world-systems and Heidelberg’s Centre for Apocalyptic and Post-apocalyptic Studies to consider the conditions under which languages of the apocalypse emerge, suggest that the ecological crisis is combining with the collapse of a secular trend grounded on eighteenth-century Enlightenment schemes, explore the current replacement of normalising statistics for assumed probability, and finally consider the new wave of horror and alternative lifeworld games as a contemporary enactment of Gramsci’s argument for cultural creativity as a prerequisite for democratic transformation in an age of planetary crisis.
