Mus茅e d'art contemporain de Montr茅al, 185 Rue Sainte-Catherine O

Media@不良研究所鈥檚 international colloquium asks leading scholars in the humanities and social sciences to spell out a new research agenda for climate theory and aesthetics in the age of the Anthropocene. How is realism鈥攊n both the aesthetic history of representation and the philosophical tradition that underwrites it鈥攖ransformed by contending with our new experience of climate in the Anthropocene? In order to temper climate change 鈥 to apprehend its complexity, to address its short- and long-term consequences, to mitigate its many sources 鈥斅燙limate Realism聽boldly claims we must develop new aesthetic theories and projects.
