abstract

  • The aim of this text is to propose that the naming of the current geological period of the planet as “The Anthropocene,” and the international recognition and responses associated with that naming, may be creating political spaces at both planetary and local levels, within a late-industrial politics, that can be employed to help liberate humans throughout the world from new forms of oppression that have arisen with late-industrial, globalised economic production and consumption.
