Agency at the Time of the Anthropocene

Agency at the Time of the Anthropocene

Main idea:

  • The Earth has begun to change again, but this time the change is one that humans are inducing.
  • Through our actions the Earth has been reshaped and is now an active subject. 
  • Like the Achafalaya humans will always want more which deteriorates the mutualistic relationship that once existed. 

Question:

  • To what extent are we willing to push the Earth beyond its limits of adaptions?
