from Part II - New Objects of Enquiry
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 November 2020
This chapter begins from the premise that the Anthropocene calls for an evaluation of human life from the perspective of posthumanism. In order to explore how this might be done, I take a closer look at the term the Anthropocene and two additional terms that have emerged from the social sciences and humanities as potential alternatives, the Capitalocene and Chthululene. Taking up threads from Donna Haraway’s concept of Chthululene, I draw on the diverse/community economies literature to explore an example of how we might think and live differently in-nature. The chapter concludes by briefly commenting on the politics of this scholarship and what is at stake in the term one adopts for this period.
