인문학 또는 인문과학은 정치, 경제 역사, 학예, 문화 등 인간과 인류문화에 관한 정신과학을 두루 이르는 말이다. 따라서 인문학은 전시의 소재로도 적합한 분야이고, 전시의 주제와 연출에 있어서도 바탕이 되는 학문이며, 전시 주최자의 기본 소양이기도 하다. 최근 인문학의 위기가 대두되고 있는 시점에서 인문학과 가상 전시의 결합은 인문학에 대한 가치를 활용과 문화콘텐츠라는 결과물에로 확장한다는데 그 의의가 있고, 가상 전시를 통해서 '경험 인문학'으로 인식할 수 있게 한다는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다.

This paper explores the academic topography of the discourses on the anthropocene to delve into how the humanities can insightfully respond to the ecological crisis of the Earth through the lens of environmental humanities proposed in a 2020 book, The Anthropocene and the Humanities: From Climate Changes to a New Age of Sustainability by a scientific philosopher, Carolyn Merchant. By publishing her latest book, The Anthropocene and the Humanities, Merchant, a pioneering scholar of ecofeminism, has recently started into inquiring into the discourses on the anthropocene, meaning a geological age led by anthropos/humans. In one of her most distinguished works of 1980, The Death of Nature: Women, Ecology, and the Scientific Revolution, Merchant has revealed that the modern Western perception of nature, often identified with women, have been figuratively killing nature as well as women. Arguing in The Anthropocene and the Humanities that the anthropocene has been enacting a "second death of nature," which has been practically and technially killing nature, Merchant calls for the insight of the environmental humanities that help us to build a "sustainable livelihood" based on the "partnership" between human and nonhuman nature. This paper contemplates on what humanities can do in the era of anthropocenic planetarian crisis with the environmental humanistic alternatives in ecofeminist perspective to overcome the anthropocenic crisis aggravated by the covid-19 occurred at the point when the climate change was viscerally felt by the humans in the twenty first century.
