These are merely some of the factors that has tip ped the earth into what social scientists call ‘the bad\, ugly Anthropoc ene’ - signalling that human activity has eroded the social\, economic a nd biological frontiers of planetary life. \;In this talk\, Professor Atreyee Sen will bring forth a discussion on how rage has become fundament al to our contemporary human condition as the world gets more interconnect ed through shared senses of injustice\, along with fear\, hatred\, paranoi a\, and other ‘negative affect’. She will explore how collective anger as a response to this plenitude in planetary crisis has become the defini ng fabric of contemporary human lives. \;Whether as resistance to eart hly destruction\, or riling for enforced segregations\, or the fury in dai ly exposure to death and structural inequalities\, anger seeps into ‘pub lic moods’ through news\, media and activism\, and animates protests\, r esistances and current social movements. Even the wrath of more-than-human worlds\, such as climate vengeance\, retaliatory floods\, and cleansing w ildfires\, becomes integrated into this global indignation. \;The pres entation\, which provides an overview of Atreyee Sen's ERC Advanced Grant\ , will highlight how these affective landscapes create pervasive atmospher es of human rage across the global North and South. Between the ‘stucked ness’ of human life and the ‘stickiness’ of disparities\, the talk w ill raise some issues around the global circulation of rage\, which is emb odied\, stoked and energised in the contemporary era.About the lecturerAtr eyee Sen is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Copenhagen.
