Aims and Scope

The book series Geographies of the Anthropocene, published by Il Sileno Edizioni International Publisher in collaboration with the GeoRiskEcoLab – Geography, Risks, Ecologies Research Centre of the Department of Human and Social Sciences at the University eCampus, explores the transformative processes characterising the Anthropocene epoch through the diverse perspectives of geoscientists and scholars in the humanities and social sciences.

The series promotes dialogue across Geosciences, Geography, Philosophy, Anthropology, Sociology of Environment and Territory, Psychology, Economics, Environmental Humanities and related disciplines, fostering an integrated and transdisciplinary approach to contemporary environmental challenges.

Particular attention is devoted to the contribution of the Environmental Humanities and Disaster Studies, whose multiple and intersecting perspectives help illuminate both the cultures shaped by the Anthropocene and the cultural frameworks through which the Anthropocene itself is interpreted. By analysing how humans perceive, narrate and respond to environmental transformations and disasters, the series aims to deepen critical understanding of the complex interactions between society and the geosphere, addressing issues such as climate change, natural hazards, sustainability, resource management and territorial vulnerability within a broader cultural and ethical horizon.

The book series Geographies of the Anthropocene publishes online volumes, both collective volumes and monographs, which are set in the perspective of providing reflections, work materials and experimentation in the fields of research and education about the new geographies of the Anthropocene.

Geographies of the Anthropocene encourages proposals that address one or more themes, including case studies, but welcome all volumes related to the interdisciplinary context of the Anthropocene.

Published volumes are subject to a review process (double-blind peer review) to ensure their scientific rigor.

The volume proposals can be presented in English, Italian, French or Spanish.

The choice of digital Open Access format is coherent with the flexible structure of the series, in order to facilitate the direct accessibility and usability by both authors and readers.

Normally, two collective volumes are published each year, in the months of April/May and November/December. Usually, the collective volumes are linked to Calls for Book Chapters (proposed by scholars identified by the editors and the editorial board), which are disseminated in the scientific community at least one year before the publication of each related volume.

The monographic volumes are published without precise timing, but according to the proposals submitted during the year.
