Description

The Earth has reached a tipping point. Runaway climate change, the sixth great extinction of planetary life, the acidification of the oceans—all point toward an era of unprecedented turbulence in humanity’s relationship throughout the internet of life. But just what is that relationship, and how do we make sense of this odd transition? Anthropocene or Capitalocene? offers answers to those questions from a dynamic group of leading important scholars who challenge the normal practice of dividing historical change and recent reality into “Nature” and “Society,” demonstrating the chances offered by a more nuanced and connective view of human environment-making, joined at each step with and throughout the biosphere. In distinct registers, the authors frame their discussions inside of a politics of hope that signal the chances for transcending capitalism, broadly understood as a “world-ecology” that joins nature, capital, and power as a historically evolving whole.
