Patchy Anthropocene: The Feral Impacts of Infrastructure, Institute for Advanced Study, Wolfensohn Hall, Einstein Drive, Princeton. www.ias.edu. Talk by Anna Tsing, professor of anthropology at UC Santa Cruz. Global climate change policy is not enough: environmental damage emerges patch by patch. It is up close and personal as well as planetary. Perhaps what we need is a "field guide" to the feral, that is, to nonhuman responses to human building projects that are out of human control: from noxious weeds to plagues to out-of-control carbon-dioxide emissions. This talk shows how we might address the Anthropocene in its granular particularity—while still attending to the global and the planetary. 5:30 p.m.
