International Conference “Anthropocene Necropoetics: Empire, Violence, and Ecological Ruin in US Poetry”
Co-organized by Mahshid Mayar & Judith Rauscher, the upcoming International Conference “Anthropocene Necropoetics: Empire, Violence, and Ecological Ruin in US Poetry” will be held at the University of Cologne, Germany, from 28 to 30 January 2026. During this three-day event, US poetry will be discussed in terms of “anthropocene necropoetics,” a term that emerges from the crossover between postcolonial capitalism and chemical modernity and in relation to the United States as both a state and an empire.
The conference poster can be viewed here.
