DESCRIPTION; CHARSET=UTF-8 :This seminar interrogates the ‘view from above’ as a contemporary convention of seeing, one that is invested with a series of cultural and ecological capacities: revealing the fragility of environmental relations, provoking ecological awareness, symbolising particular configurations of the social and the environmental, or visualising contemporary worldly conditions. However, rather than taking whole-earth perceptions straightforwardly as ‘obvious emblems of the Anthropocene’ (Clark, 2013), this paper explores some of the wider histories and philosophies associated with the ‘view from above’, and considers how those histories might problematize the presumed capacities of perspectives on earth to act as vehicles for ecological enlightenment.http://www.exeter.ac.uk/events/details/?event=5278
