Antropocennosti: Průvodce světem antropocénu

1 min read

Antropocennosti is a collection of twenty-three essays written by various authors from different disciplinary backgrounds. These essays guide the reader through the Antropocene by introducing both common and unusual objects as being results of events and processes typical of the Anthropocene. The term “Anthro- pocene” itself has multiple meanings: it is a proposed geological epoch, in which human activity has left a deep imprint on the Earth’s surface; it is a critique of humankind’s impact on the planet and its exploitation of natural resources and it is an uncomfortable look in the mirror that brings about a new reflection on the position of humans in the world. This book understands the Anthropocene as both a new environmental situation and a specific reflection of it, a double turn: both material and intellectual.
