Title: Age of Anthropocene
Post by: sg1008 on May 05, 2015, 09:42:04 AM
"it is now being said with increasing frequency that we have entered a new geological age, a distinct era in planetary history, the age of the Anthropocene. This age is defined by human-induced changes to the natural environment: rising global temperatures, sea levels, and CO2 in the atmosphere, to name just a few consequential eco-systemic changes. The question for this conference is whether this is a necessarily distinct, third major perspective on the socio-political dynamics of globalization.

... n what ways does the perspective of a new historical epoch in natural history demand the reconsideration of how we view global socio-political space generally?"
