Abstract

This chapter critically examines the most common theme to stories in the anthropocene: hope. Even among the bleakest stories that seem to suggest that there is nothing that we can do, and global ecological collapse is coming regardless of our actions, some glimpse of hope returns as the truest expression of the totalizing nature of capitalist capture. Through weaving together reflections on the art of Antony Gormley, Shakespeare’s Hamlet, becoming a Doomer, and the writings of Romanian-born philosopher, Emil Cioran, this chapter seeks to make a case for the virtue of ambivalence in living in the anthropocene.
