Chapter Chapter 1 in Stories and Organization in the Anthropocene, 2021, pp 1-15 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter responds to cross-disciplinary scholarship that calls for more “imagination” and more stories in the anthropocene by tracking certain threads common to anthropocene storytelling, particularly the eschatological narratives that have flooded our popular culture. It weaves together the story of a flood that took place at the Meadowhall shopping centre in 2019 with a reading of Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of “desire” in order to build a critique of the idea of “imagining our way out” of the anthropocene.
