This paper will explore how Timothy Clark’s scalar framing can provide a framework for representing and understanding the Anthropocene in literature on different levels. To do this, the paper will also situate natural and unnatural narratology within these scales. By combining these theories with Clark’s scales, I believe we can elucidate what it means to live in a world constantly threatened by climate change and how it affects us on different levels – personally, culturally, and ecologically. These theories and concepts will be applied to Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation to illuminate three ways we can read the novel to conceptualize the Anthropocene in a more digestible manner.
