The ensuing complexity and ambiguity create manifold challenges to widely established theories, methodologies, epistemologies and ontologies. The contributions to this volume engage with conceptual issues of scale in the Anthropocene with a focus on mediated representation and narrative. They are centered around the themes of scale and time, scale and the nonhuman and scale and space. The volume presents an interdisciplinary dialogue between sociology, geography, political sciences, history and literary, cultural and media studies. Together, they contribute to current debates on the (re-)imagining of forms of human responsibility that meet the challenges created by humanity entering an age of scalar complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Ac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e0 The Anthropocene as an Age of Scalar Complexity: Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGabriele Dürbeck (University of Vechta) \/ Philip Hüpkes (Heinrich-Heine University)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection I: Scale and Time \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Geomedia and Michael Madsen’s \u003ci\u003eInto Eternity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerek Woods (University of British Columbia) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Time Travel as a Tool for Promoting Trans-Scalar Thinking \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAxel Goodbody (University of Bath)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Time Depth: Jean Epstein, Michel Serres, and Operational Model Time\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristoph Rosol (Max-Planck-Institute for the History of Science, Berlin) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection II: Scale and the Nonhuman \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Planetary Multiplicity, Earthly Multitudes: Interscalar Practices for a Volatile Planet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNigel Clark (Lancaster University) \/ Bronislaw Szerszynski (Lancaster University) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Plant Scale and the Anthropocene\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeather Sullivan (Trinity University, San Antonio, TX)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Anthropomorphism and Alterity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBernhard Malkmus (University of Newcastle)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 \"We Have Lost Yardsticks by Which to Measure\": Arendtian Ethics and the Narration of Scale in the Anthropocene\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdeline Johns-Putra (University of Surrey)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 Sound and Silence: Punk and the Anthropocene\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Parham (University of Worcester)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection III: Scale and Space\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 On Being the Right Size: Scale, Democracy and the Anthropocene\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAysem Mert (Stockholm University) and Dougald Hine (Plurality University Network)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Cosmos vs. Anthropocene: Multi-Scalar Praxis for Socio-Environmental Justice with Adrienne Maree Brown’s \u003ci\u003eEmergent Strategy\u003c\/i\u003e (2017)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKathrin Bartha (Goethe University, Frankfurt\/Monash University, Melbourne) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11 Google-Gaia.
