Coles Moving Nature: Towards a Scandinavian Anthropocene at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Moving Nature explores the Anthropocene in Scandinavia through the movement of organisms, substances and ideologies, from the mid-eighteenth century to the present. Case studies explore the Pacific oyster and wild boar as alien species, the production of Arctic animal museum specimens, changing Nordic livestock regimes, the afterlives of Swedish copper production, eighteenth century attempts to combat ‘evil herbs’, and clearing of Argentinian rainforest by Swedish migrants. Collectively, they show how the Anthropocene in Scandinavia can be characterised by such movements, and how they promoted progress and related to the welfare state, whilst remaining entangled with transgressive and colonial forms of intervention.
