#anthropocene — Public Fediverse posts

Nice planet you got there. Be a shame if multiple, obvious, preventable, longstanding crises assailed it.

“To take seriously the concept of the #anthropocene - the idea that we have entered a new epoch defined by humans’ impact on Earth’s #ecosystem - requires engagement with global history. Using #feminist #anthropology this lecture explores the awkward relations between what one might call “machines of replication”—those simplified ecologies, such as plantations, in which life worlds are remade as future assets—and the vernacular histories in which such machines erupt in all their particularity and go feral in counter-intentional forms. This lecture does not begin with the unified continuity of Man (versus indigenous ontologies; as scientific protocol; etc.), but rather explores contingent eruptions and the patchy, fractured Anthropocene they foster.

Ungraspable global warming and a tornado 'like in a disaster movie'.

* Tornado causes damage as it rips through Ulladulla on NSW south coast
"The sky darkened before a strong wind swept everything away. Boats that had been chained to the harbour...were uplifted and thrown onto the car park." >>

* "In The Ecological Thought, Morton employed the term hyperobjects to describe objects that are so massively distributed in time and space as to transcend spatiotemporal specificity, such as global warming, styrofoam, and radioactive plutonium."

"For example, global warming is a hyperobject which impacts meteorological conditions, such as tornado formation. According to Morton, though, entities don't feel global warming, but instead experience tornadoes as they cause damage in specific places. Thus, nonlocality describes the manner in which a hyperobject becomes more substantial than the local manifestations it produces. Hyperobjects not only become visible during an age of ecological crisis, but alert humans to the ecological dilemmas defining the age in which they live." >>
