| dc.description.abstract | Notes from the Anthropocene is an experimental essay film that explores the cultural imagination of the dinosaur as a souvenir for 21st century humans. The icon of the dinosaur shifts between narratives of extinction and human exceptionalism and power. The materiality of the dinosaur whether fossil or plastic toy has, through popular culture, become entrenched in the imaginary of oil extraction and fossil fuel production. Notes from the Anthropocene is a speculative iconological look at the dinosaur, and its resurrection in the Anthropocene, the proposed geological era where humans are the dominating force on the planet, and its symbolic relationship to an increasing ambivalence towards the natural world. | |
