This book traces the intersections between the growing controversies revolving around the Anthropocene on the one hand, and artistic and curatorial practices situated in the Sinophone world on the other. Exploring the relevance and multiple relations of both concepts as mediated in specific aesthetic, visual, and performative practices, and affiliated understandings of the planetary, seven academic case studies, supplemented by four conversations with emergent and senior curators, map the Sinophonecene. Accounting for the transcultural entanglements of different ontologies--humans, plants, animals, as well as technoid beings--and being aware of Man's epistemological conditions and limits, the recent concept helps to think through global issues of habitability and interspecies relationships with regard to the particular world of Chinese contemporary art. Eschewing essentialist, nationalist, civilizational, and human-centric notions of Chineseness in favor of more worlded approaches, the multi-vocal chapters also contribute to bridging existent divides between area specialists, art historians, artists, curators and educators, who are engaged in the field.
