In the context of the seminar “Anthropocene and the Media,” students of new media theorist John Kim have developed diverse approaches and perspectives of examining the Mississippi River in relation to the Anthropocene.

How can we trace the multiplicities of anthropocenic phenomena alongside the Mississippi? Wherein lies the relationship between mediated representations of the river and common frameworks of understanding the river in its current manifestation? These are among the many questions that run through this collage of selected excerpts of contributions, all of which have been developed and pursued by students of new media theorist John Kim within the context of the seminar Anthropocene and the Media.
