Labor and labor norms play a significant role in shaping our contemporary lives, organizing our days and years and driving significant environmental change. However, labor, as a fundamental set of values and practices, has not received enough attention within the realm of the environmental humanities to fully understand its profound impact on climate change and other crises. This collection of essays highlights the urgent need to reevaluate our models and customs of labor and leisure in the Anthropocene era. Recognizing the severe traumas and hazards that plague our planet Earth, contributors expose fundamental flaws in our notions of work and embark on a quest to redirect cultures towards more sustainable modes of existence.
These essays critically examine Anthropocene frames of interpretation, shed light on the problems and potentials within regimes of labor, and explore leisure practices such as walking and storytelling as means of recasting our lives. Additionally, a coda advocates reviving notions of work as craft, emphasizing the importance of skilled and meaningful labor in the face of the Anthropocene challenges.
In conclusion, this collection of essays serves as a powerful call to action, urging us to rethink our relationship with labor and leisure in the Anthropocene. By recognizing the profound impact of our actions on the environment and society, we can strive towards a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
