Eseuri despre o planetă ocupată de om De la autorul bestsellerurilor Sub aceeași stea și Un șir infinit de țestoase În Antropocen, nu există observatori dezinteresați, ci doar participanți. Antropocenul este un termen propus pentru actuala eră geologică, în care oamenii au remodelat profund planeta și biodiversitatea sa. În această formidabilă colecție de eseuri adaptate și dezvoltate din faimosul său podcast, folosind scala de cinci stele și inspirându-se din experiența sa ca recenzent de carte, John Green scrie despre diversele fațete ale planetei noastre în care suntem creatura dominantă — de la tastatura QWERTY și apusuri de soare la gâștele canadiene și Pinguinii din Madagascar. Amuzante, complexe și bogate în detalii, aceste recenzii inedite cartografiază contradicțiile contemporaneității. Ca specie, suntem totodată prea puternici și nu îndeajuns de puternici, un paradox care a ajuns în centrul atenției odată cu apariția pandemiei actuale, care ne-a separat, dar a și întărit legăturile dintre noi. „Cărțile lui John Green se află în topul listelor de bestselleruri New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today. „Un autor genial. Sub aceeași stea este una dintre cele mai autentice și mai emoționante povești de dragoste din literatura americană recentă, dar și o tragedie existențială de o forță ieșită din comun, impregnată de curaj și tristețe." — Time Magazine „John Green îmbină magistral gravitatea și firescul în acest imn închinat spiritului omenesc." — Washington Post

This book engages with the classic philosophical question of mind and matter, seeking to show its altered meaning and acuteness in the era of the Anthropocene. Arguing that matter, and, more broadly, the natural world, has been misconceived since Descartes, it explores the devastating impact that this has had in practice in the West. As such, alternatives are needed, whether philosophical ones such as those offered by figures such as Whitehead and Nagel, or posthumanist ones such as those developed by Barad and Latour. Drawing on recent anthropological work ignored by philosophers and sociologists alike, the author considers a radical alternative cosmology: animism understood as panpsychism in practice. This understanding of mind and matter, of culture and nature, is then turned against present-day posthumanist critiques of what the Anthropocene amounts to, showing them up as philosophically misguided, politically mute, and ethically wanting. A ground-breaking reconceptualization of the natural world and our treatment of it, Cosmologies of the Anthropocene will appeal to scholars of sociology, social theory, philosophy and anthropology with interests in our understanding of and relationship with nature.

We are in the midst of a growing ecological crisis. Developing technologies and cultural interventions are throwing the status of “human” into question. It is against this context that Patricia McCormack delivers her expert justification for the “ahuman”. An alternative to “posthuman” thought, the term paves the way for thinking that doesn't dissolve into nihilism and despair, but actively embraces issues like human extinction, vegan abolition, atheist occultism, death studies, a refusal of identity politics, deep ecology, and the apocalypse as an optimistic beginning. In order to suggest vitalistic, perhaps even optimistic, ways to negotiate some of the difficulties in thinking and acting in the world, this book explores five key contemporary themes: · Identity · Spirituality · Art · Death · The apocalypse Collapsing activism, artistic practice and affirmative ethics, while introducing some radical contemporary ideas and addressing specifically modern phenomena like death cults, intersectional identity politics and capitalist enslavement of human and nonhuman organisms to the point of 'zombiedom', The Ahuman Manifesto navigates the ways in which we must compose the human differently, specifically beyond nihilism and post- and trans-humanism and outside human privilege. This is so that we can actively think and live viscerally, with connectivity (actual not virtual), and with passion and grace, toward a new world.

A spectre is haunting humanity: the spectre of a reality that will outwit and, in the end, bury us. "The Anthropocene," or The Human Era, is an attempt to name our geological fate - that we will one day disappear into the layer-cake of Earth's geology - while highlighting humanity in the starring role of today's Earthly drama. In Shadowing the Anthropocene, Adrian Ivakhiv proposes an ecological realism that takes as its starting point humanity's eventual demise. The only question for a realist today, he suggests, is what to do now and what quality of compost to leave behind with our burial. The book engages with the challenges of the Anthropocene and with a series of philosophical efforts to address them, including those of Slavoj Zizek and Charles Taylor, Graham Harman and Timothy Morton, Isabelle Stengers and Bruno Latour, and William Connolly and Jane Bennett. Along the way, there are volcanic eruptions and revolutions, ant cities and dog parks, data clouds and space junk, pagan gods and sacrificial altars, dark flow, souls (of things), and jazz. Ivakhiv draws from centuries old process-relational thinking that hearkens back to Daoist and Buddhist sages, but gains incisive re-invigoration in the philosophies of Charles Sanders Peirce and Alfred North Whitehead. He translates those insights into practices of "engaged Anthropocenic bodymindfulness" - aesthetic, ethical, and ecological practices for living in the shadow of the Anthropocene.

The destructive effects of modern industrial societies have shaped the planet in such profound ways that many argue for the existence of a new geological epoch called the Anthropocene. This claim brings into relief a set of challenges that have deep implications for how relations between the human, the material, and the political affect contemporary social worlds. The contributors to Anthropos and the Material examine these challenges by questioning and complicating long-held understandings of the divide between humans and things. They present ethnographic case studies from across the globe, addressing myriad topics that range from labor, economics, and colonialism to technology, culture, the environment, agency, and diversity. In foregrounding the importance of connecting natural and social histories, the instability and intangibility of the material, and the ways in which the lively encounters between the human and the nonhuman challenge conceptions of liberal humanism, the contributors point to new understandings of the capacities of people and things to act, transform, and adapt to a changing world.

This Handbook is a collection of contributions of more than 300 researchers who have worked to grasp the Anthropocene, this new geological epoch characterised by a modification of the conditions of habitability of the Earth for all living things, in its biogeophysical and socio-political reality. These researchers also sought to define a historical and prospective anthropology that integrates social, economic, cultural and political issues as well as, of course, environmental ones. What are the anthropological changes needed to ensure that our human adventure will be able to continue in the Anthropocene? And what are the educational and political issues involved? Anthropocene is fast becoming a widely-used term, but thus far, there been no reference work explaining the thoughts of the greatest experts of the present day on this subject (at the intersection of biogeophysical and socio-political knowledge). A scientific and political concept (but which is also theconceptual vehicle for conveying the scientific community's sense of concern), this complex term is explained by international experts as they reflect on scientific arguments taking place in earth system science, the social sciences and the humanities. What these researchers from different disciplines have in common is a healthy concern for the future and how to prepare for it in the Anthropocene and also the identification of possible anthropological changes. This Handbook encourages readers to immerse themselves in reflections on the human adventure through descriptions of our differing heritages and the future that is in the process of being written.

'Exterranean' concerns the extraction of stuff from the Earth, a process in which matter goes from being sub- to exterranean. By opening up a rich archive of nonmodern texts and images from across Europe, this work offers a bracing riposte to several critical trends in ecological thought. By shifting emphasis from emission to extraction, Usher reorients our perspective away from Earthrise-like globes and shows what is gained by opening the planet to depths within.

De la autorul de bestselleruri internaționale și faimosul om de știință Tim Flannery, o istorie a Europei așa cum nu a mai fost scrisă: o poveste ecologică a pământului însuși și a forțelor care au modelat viața.În Europa – O istorie naturală, omul de știință, exploratorul și conservaționistul Tim Flannery aplică și istoriei Europei abordarea interdisciplinară elocventă pe care a folosit-o la istoriile ecologice dedicate Australiei și Americii de Nord. El începe acum 100 de milioane de ani, când continentele Asia, America de Nord și Africa au interacționat pentru a crea un arhipelag de insule care va deveni ulterior Europa pe care o cunoaștem azi. Tocmai pe aceste vechi tărâmuri tropicale au evoluat primele organisme distinct europene, de la broasca-mamoș, care a rezistat de la începuturile existenței continentului, la elefanții, crocodilii și rechinii gigantici care au apărut pentru a dispărea ulterior. Explorează schimbările monu - mentale aduse de impactul devastator al cometelor și ne arată cum au transformat schimbările atmosferice rapide Arhipelagul Euro - pean într-o singură masă de pământ în timpul Eocenului. Pe măsură ce povestea traversează milioane de ani de istorie evoluționistă, Flannery își îndreaptă, în cele din urmă, atenția asu - pra propriei noastre specii, descriind impactul imens pe care l-au avut oamenii asupra florei și faunei continentului – la 30 000 de ani de la sosirea noastră în Europa, rinocerul lânos, ursul de peșteră și elanul gigant, printre altele, aveau să dispară complet. Povestea continuă până în prezent, Flannery descriind rolul conducător al Europei în prezervarea vieții sălbatice, gândindu-se și la viitorul continentului: ajutându-se de progresul în tehnologia de editare genetică, oamenii de știință europeni lucrează pentru a recrea unele dintre creaturile dispărute ale continentului, precum marele bivol din pădurile primordiale ale Europei sau chiar mamutul lânos. Scrisă cu combinația caracteristică lui Flannery de proză elegantă și expertiză științifică, Europa – O istorie naturală narează istoria naturală dramatică și evoluția dinamică a unuia dintre cele mai cunoscute locuri de pe Pământ.

Se spune că începuturile pot fi uneori ca o ceață de nepătruns. Așa este și cazul acestei povești, care începe cu apariția unei noi specii, probabil în urmă cu două mii de ani. Specia nu are încă un nume – nimic nu are încă unul – dar are capacitatea de a numi lucruri. Asemenea oricărei alte noi specii, starea acesteia este fragilă. Numărul membrilor săi este mic, iar teritoriul pe care îl ocupă este redus la o bucată din estul Africii. Populația sa crește treptat, dar apoi, destul de probabil, aceasta se diminuează din nou – unii ar spune că asta se întâmplă într-un mod aproape fatal – ajungând la doar câteva mii de perechi. Membrii speciei nu sunt neapărat foarte rapizi sau puternici sau fertili. Ei sunt însă nemaipomenit de descurcăreți. Progresiv, ei încep să exploreze teritorii cu diferite climate, diferiți prădători și diferite tipuri de vânat. Nici una dintre constrângerile aduse de habitat sau de geografia locului nu pare să îi afecteze prea tare.
