Animal Detectives and ‘Anthropocene Noir’ in Chloe Hooper’s A Child’s Book of True Crime,
single work
criticism
(p. 875-893)
'In a recent lecture, Deborah Bird Rose posited the emergence of 'Anthropocene noir', a reality in which 'we, human beings, are all criminals, all detectives, and all victims'. In the Anthropocene there is no single body, culprit, scene or event which definitively identifies the 'crime' of the current extinction crisis. Delocalised in its causes, incalculable and potentially irredeemable in its effects, this crisis is a compelling example of what Ulrich Beck calls global risks, anticipated catastrophes which cannot be delimited spatially, temporally or socially.'
