Planet Work: Rethinking Labor and Leisure in the Anthropocene Hediger Ryan
Labor and labor norms orient much of contemporary life, organizing our days and years and driving planetary environmental change. This collection of essays demonstrates the urgent need to rethink models and customs of labor and leisure in the Anthropocene. Yet, labor, as a foundational set of values and practices, has not been sufficiently interrogated in the context of the environmental humanities for its profound role in climate change and other crises.
These essays evaluate Anthropocene frames of interpretation, dramatize problems and potentials in regimes of labor, and explore leisure practices such as walking and storytelling as modes of recasting life, while a coda advocates Recognizing the grave traumas and hazards plaguing planet Earth, contributors expose fundamental flaws in ideas of work and search for ways to redirect cultures toward more sustainable modes of life.
