Whose Side Are You On? (Post)anthropocene Science Fiction Films in the Age of Climate Trauma

Summary/Abstract: The notion of the Anthropocene – signifying the latest geological epoch in the Earth’s history – not only points out the devastating impact of humans on the biosphere, but it also destabilizes the hegemony of the Homo sapiens race. This paradigm shift brought by the Anthropocene became visible in cinematic representations as well. In this paper, I argue that the Anthropocene perspective is enabled in contemporary science fiction films by non-human characters, who are more sympathetic than human characters. Imagining future worlds often destroyed by the climate crisis, these anthropomorphized non-human characters are in fact representing qualities that are vanishing from the 21st century human.
