What can we do with, and how can we think about, these recycled pieces of forgotten texts?

Lewis and Mark A. Maslin\u2019s (2015) suggestion that the results of the \u201ccollision of the Old and New Worlds\u201d (e.g. cross-continental movement of food species and domesticated animals and dramatic decline of indigenous populations) can help mark the beginning of the Anthropocene in 1610, this paper seeks to track down relevant data in late sixteenth-century <em>Relaciones geogr\u00e1ficas<\/em>. These surveys, ordered by Juan L\u00f3pez de Velasco, Philip II\u2019s cosmographer-chronicler, for the composition of a comprehensive book on New World territories, contain information of a quantitative nature on physical and environmental geography, flora, and fauna, finance, government, and indigenous traditions, which has been deployed mostly in cartography and historical and cultural studies. In this paper, special focus will be placed on reports or answers to the 1577-1584 questionnaires, received from Guatemala, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Venezuela, on items concerning climate, illnesses, crops, and domesticated animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Patricia Phillippy, \u2018Parochializing the Anthropocene: Changing Climates in the Early Modern Parish\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following Dipesh Chakrabarty\u2019s <em>Provincializing Europe<\/em>, criticism of contemporary postcolonial literature has sought strategies to \u201cparochialize the Anthropocene;\u201d that is, to ground this universal idea in specific times and places. In the early modern context, of course, the \u201cparochial\u201d is especially resonant, referring us to parish churches joined in webs of ecclesiastical polity across England. This paper responds to the recent geographic relocation of the Anthropocene in the early modern, pre-secular era, considering the continuities and discontinuities between Christian eschatology and contemporary Anthropocene discourses within the specific time and place of the pre-Reformation church. I explore how agricultural materiality resonates in secular and spiritual registers in William Austin\u2019s monument for his mother, erected by Nicolas Stone in Southwark Cathedral (1633). Cultivating the metaphoric link between God as farmer and parishioners as crops (\u201cVos etis agricultura dei\u201d), Austin erects a monument to the hybrid matter awash in the Columbian Exchange.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>Madeline Bassnett, \u2018Anticipating the Anthropocene: Chronicling Weather Extremes in Methley, Yorkshire\u2019<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is now a commonplace to tie extreme weather to anthropocentric climate change. As <em>The Economist<\/em> observes, \u201cToday\u2019s rare extremes become tomorrow\u2019s regular disturbances; tomorrow\u2019s extremes are completely new\u201d (May 16, 2020). But weather extremes do not happen in isolation; combinations of conditions\u2014warmer oceans leading to stronger cyclones, for instance\u2014create acute and unexpected results. Although the early modern English experienced global cooling rather than warming, they, too, encountered patterns of severe and unseasonal weather. This paper will examine reports of weather extremes in the commonplace book of Richard Shann, herbalist, orchard cultivator, and copyholder in the village of Methley, West Yorkshire (BL Add MS 38599). I argue that not only are chronicles and commonplace books a rich source of historical data, but also that this data anticipates the vagaries of Anthropocene weather.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Judith Mossman to give the Donald Russell Memorial Lecture, St John&#8217;s College Oxford Prof. Judith Mossman will deliver the second annual Donald Russell Memorial Lecture, on the theme of \u2018Plutarch Speaking Metaphorically\u2019 at St John\u2019s College Oxford.
