Anglica. An International Journal of English Studies 34/1/2025

This issue addresses topics related to the broadly understood ecological crisis as interpreted in literature and art. The authors focus on the problems of the legacy of generations inheriting destabilised climate processes, which could lead to the emergence of a robo-apocalyptic world ruled only by artificial intelligence. The remnants of the anthropocentric era are projected through speculative art, showing what a post-humanist world might look like.

Some of the works pay particular attention to interspecies grief and mourning caused by the prospect of the extinction of humans and other living beings. They present plays devoted to this theme and the case of an organisation protecting nature – the Snow Leopard Conservancy. In addition, the topics of indigenous knowledge and the socio-cultural influence of the Magdalena River on the community living off its ecosystem are addressed, as well as organism-oriented ontology, focused on the life of organisms after the Anthropocene and the reversal of chaotic entropy (the ‘negantropy’ term).

Regular features in the structure of Anglica magazine are the sections Varia and Book Review.
