Anthropocene, when knowledge takes the place of life. First self-recursive form Anthropocene is a term probably coined by the natural scientists Crutzen and Stoemer (2000); it means that we, who live on Earth, are in a geological era in which human activities (anthropoi) have an impact on the planet. I think it is clear what it means: global warming is not just "climate change," because it is caused by human activity; the decrease of the birth rate in the "performative" capitalist and postcommunist societies is connected to the physiological change and (the change) of mentality in these countries, it has to do with relationships of couples and with relationships between people; the return of authoritarianism and nationalism in politics is not a simple repetition of what happened in the past - all of this has to do with an anthropological change.

Abstract
Anthropocene, when knowledge takes the place of life. First self-recursive form Anthropocene is a term probably coined by the natural scientists Crutzen and Stoemer (2000); it means that we, who live on Earth, are in a geological era in which human activities (anthropoi) have an impact on the planet. I think it is clear what it means: global warming is not just "climate change," because it is caused by human activity; the decrease of the birth rate in the "performative" capitalist and postcommunist societies is connected to the physiological change and (the change) of mentality in these countries, it has to do with relationships of couples and with relationships between people; the return of authoritarianism and nationalism in politics is not a simple repetition of what happened in the past - all of this has to do with an anthropological change.File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
