Abstract

This chapter on children and the monstrosities of the Anthropocene imagines a speculative materialist view of climate change. Binding together a set of ecological posthumanist assemblages, it seeks to attribute agency to the ‘matters’ of climate change (greenhouse gases, melting glaciers, floods, raising oceans, warming weather and human technologies). Questions of the assemblages of entangled matters co-existing in Fukushima and La Paz are explored through case studies on children with a host of others experiencing major disasters in their everyday lives, mostly as the consequences of historical and present ecological disasters. The stories provide a window into the future and the ongoing consequences of widespread climate change and the threat it will present to children’s lives.
