Widespread human alteration of the planet has led many scholars to claim that we have entered a new epoch in geological time: the Anthropocene, an age dominated by humanity. This ethnography is the first to directly engage the Anthropocene, tackling its problems and paradoxes from the vantage point of the world’s largest tropical rainforest.
Drawing from extensive ethnographic research, Nicholas Kawa examines how pre-Columbian Amerindians and contemporary rural Amazonians have shaped their environment, describing in vivid detail their use and management of the region’s soils, plants, and forests. At the same time, he highlights the ways in which the Amazonian environment resists human manipulation and control—a vital reminder in this time of perceived human dominance. Written in engaging, accessible prose, Amazonia in the Anthropocene offers an innovative contribution to debates about humanity’s place on the planet, encouraging deeper ecocentric thinking and a more inclusive vision of ecology for the future.

Depuis la fin de la derni re p riode glaciaire, l'humanit a transform sa niche cologique, modifi sa position dans l' cosyst me, provoqu des changements climatiques radicaux et affect la diversit des esp ces aux quatre coins du monde, ce qui a entra n l'apparition d'une nouvelle poque g ologique, l'Anthropoc ne.
l' chelle plan taire, les activit s humaines exercent un impact direct sur les fronti res qu'elles transforment durablement alors que ces m mes fronti res ont constitu le cadre naturel dans lequel l'humanit a pu prosp rer durant les dix derniers mill naires. Les changements rapides qui affectent notre syst me terrestre remettent directement en cause les anciennes hypoth ses qui consid raient des fronti res stables comme le principal fondement de la souverainet . Aujourd'hui, ces postulats p rim s doivent imp rativement tre r valu s. Paradoxalement, la phase de mondialisation actuelle n cessite une red finition de la notion m me de fronti res stables. En effet, l' largissement des droits de propri t et des champs de comp tence pourrait en fait pr venir la mise en oeuvre de mesures d'adaptation efficaces visant r pondre aux enjeux du changement climatique. Garantir la survie d'une conomie fond e sur la consommation de combustibles fossiles demeure ce jour une priorit politique comme le fait de devoir faire face aux catastrophes naturelles l' chelle mondiale - ce qui rend les objectifs de durabilit d'autant plus difficiles atteindre dans un environnement en pleine mutation o les rivalit s politiques exacerb es fa onnent la politique globale contemporaine.
L'entr e de la Terre dans une nouvelle poque g ologique, l'Anthropoc ne (l' re de l'homme), repr sente un formidable d fi thique, qu'il convient de relever en tablissant une v ritable politique de durabilit , et ce, au moment o l'humanit s'engage dans la derni re phase du processus de mondialisation. Dans un tel contexte, pour tre r ellement efficaces, les connaissances et les perspectives r sultant des analyses acad miques et des initiatives pratiques de toute nature devront tre int gr es dans une vision globale.

Humanity has been scaling up its niche, changing the climate and the species mix around the world since the end of the last ice age and in the process generating a new geological epoch known as the Anthropocene.
Human activities occurring on a global scale are now impacting and altering boundaries that constitute the conditions under which humanity has been able to flourish over the last ten thousand years. Rapid changes in the earth system mean that old assumptions of stable borders as the basis of sovereignty have to be reconsidered. Ironically, the current phase of globalization involves re-bordering many things, extending property and jurisdictions in numerous new ways that may actually prevent effective adaptation to climate change. Securing the fossil fuel economy remains a policy priority, as does trying to cope with disasters on a global scale--all of which makes sustainability more difficult as geopolitical rivalries shape contemporary global policy.
The Anthropocene is thus the new context for sustainability policy in the latest phase of globalization, and both academic analysis and practical initiatives will have to incorporate its insights if they are to be effective.

Автор: Kaya Barry; Jondi Keane Название: Creative Measures of the Anthropocene ISBN: 9811396477 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789811396472 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 65210.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book proposes that creative and participatory modes of measuring, knowing, and moving in the world are needed for coming to grips with the Anthropocene epoch. It interrogates how creative, affective and experiential encounters that traverse the local and the global, as well as the mundane and the everyday, can offer new perspectives on the challenges that lay ahead. This book considers the role of the arts in exploring geographical concerns and increasing human mobility. In doing so, it offers ways to counteract the unstable, shifting and disorienting impacts and debates surrounding human activity and the Anthropocene. The authors bring together perspectives from mobilities, creative arts, cultural geography, philosophy and humanities in an innovative exploration of how creative forms of measurement can assist in reconfiguring individual and collective action.
Автор: Jamie Mcphie Название: Mental Health and Wellbeing in the Anthropocene ISBN: 9811333254 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789811333255 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 65210.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book makes the unorthodox claim that there is no such thing as mental health. It also deglamourises nature-based psychotherapies, deconstructs therapeutic landscapes and redefines mental health and wellbeing as an ecological process distributed in the environment – rather than a psychological manifestation trapped within the mind of a human subject. Traditional and contemporary philosophies are merged with new science of the mind as each chapter progressively examples a posthuman account of mental health as physically dispersed amongst things – emoji, photos, tattoos, graffiti, cities, mountains – in this precarious time labelled the Anthropocene. Utilising experimental walks, play scripts and creative research techniques, this book disrupts traditional notions of the subjective self, resulting in an Extended Body Hypothesis – a pathway for alternative narratives of human-environment relations to flourish more ethically. This transdisciplinary inquiry will appeal to anyone interested in non-classificatory accounts of mental health, particularly concerning areas of social and environmental equity – post-nature.

Описание: We are living in the age of the Anthropocene, in which human activities are recognized for effecting potentially catastrophic environmental change. In this book, Joel Alden Schlosser argues that our current state of affairs calls for a creative political response, and he finds inspiration in an unexpected source: the ancient writings of the Greek historian Herodotus. Focusing on the Histories, written in the fifth century BCE, Schlosser identifies a cluster of concepts that allow us to better grasp the dynamic complexity of a world in flux. Schlosser shows that the Histories, which chronicle the interactions among the Greek city-states and their neighbors that culminated in the Persian Wars, illuminate a telling paradox: at those times when humans appear capable of exerting more influence than ever before, they must also assert collective agency to avoid their own downfall. Here, success depends on nomoi, or the culture, customs, and laws that organize human communities and make them adaptable through cooperation. Nomoi arise through sustained contact between humans and their surroundings and function best when practiced willingly and with the support of strong commitments to the equality of all participants. Thus, nomoi are the very substance of political agency and, ultimately, the key to freedom and ecological survival because they guide communities to work together to respond to challenges. An ingenious contribution to political theory, political philosophy, and ecology, Herodotus in the Anthropocene reminds us that the best perspective on the present can often be gained through the lens of the past.
