ABSTRACT
This chapter explores photographies and the Anthropocene through a dialogue between the disciplinary perspectives and distinctive voices of its four authors. The final text is responsive in two senses. First, it speaks to the other chapters in the section, yet can be read on its own terms as an experiment in the environmental humanities. More strongly, it responds to the myriad and multifaceted “views from the South” by refusing the complacency of a singular, controlling “gaze from the North”, a gaze that has all too readily looked away from its critical entanglement with anthropogenic planetary destruction.
