Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
In this paper, I follow Castree, Whatmore and other geographers in exploring how the Anthropocene is producing new ways of graphing the geo‚‚. I think through calls from Yusoff, Clark and Saldanha to focus on geo-social and geo-political processes as part of such a remapping in ways that remove a long-held emphasis on biopolitical analyses. But, I linger on‚‚Äùand question—the traditional dividing lines between the bio‚‚ and geo‚‚. Taking up jellyfish as an emblem of the Anthropocene, I draw on recent scientific research on these and other primitive‚‚ organisms in an attempt to rethink how we spatialize life and its other in the after-life of the Anthropocene. I argue that rethinking the bio/geo divide not only has epistemological and political implications, but also challenges us to question the very notion of survival‚‚.
