“…One forces us to think of difference and the other prompts us to think of a universal human agency. This realisation of human agency has brought a certain sense of shared universal urgency that calls for swift “preventive action” (Baucom & Omelsky, 2017; Simon, 2017, p. 241) and techno‐managerial control (Simpson, 2020), for example, for climate change mitigation and rapid energy transitions. This is a dilemma because urgency, while not fully misplaced, risks compromising due course, discussion, and justice.…”

The Anthropocene has thrown at us a challenge of balancing urgency and justice. Urgency brought about by myriad environmental crises, most prominently being climate change, and justice that any adequate response to these crises needs to be rooted in. This is a dilemma because we need pathways for urgent action on climate mitigation and energy transitions while centring the slow and considered work that historical and contemporary justice questions demand. This is because while the Anthropocene calls humans to unite, its impacts have been, are, and will be, felt differently. The Anthropocene narrative's framing of a universal humanity connects to a long and dangerous history of what is human and what qualifies as humanity, a history of colonising, racializing, and dehumanising black, brown, and indigenous bodies around the world. We need narratives of the Anthropocene that confirm the importance of decolonising political, economic, and scientific institutions, not to deny urgency, but to foster a more political Anthropocene that creates

“…Yet, Knowledge in the Anthropocene as an analytic category on its own, has only partially been addressed in different platforms. The 2017 Special Issue of the South Atlantic Quarterly on 'Climate Change and the Production of Knowledge' (edited by Baucom & Omelsky, 2017) has been one of the most substantial precursors, while the abovementioned 2019 Editorial of the International Journal of Knowledge Based Development (Carrillo, 2019) incorporated this topic into the IJKBD editorial scope. Within scientific periodicals probably the special issue of Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability on 'Advancing the science of actionable knowledge for sustainability' (Arnott et al, 2020) constitutes the most substantial recent contribution.…”

Knowledge for the Anthropocene

Why 'Knowledge for the Anthropocene'? How is this title relevant? Basically, it refers to how these two terms relate to each other. How we understand each of them on their own and then how a new relationship can be constructed between them. Such relationship can in turn set up new inter-determinacies, co-evolving in their subsequent understanding.The term Anthropocene was introduced to name the proposed geological epoch following the Holocene (Crutzen & Stoermer, 2000). It is characterized by an overwhelming mark of human activity on Earth so as to leave a geo-stratigraphical record (Zalasiewicz et al., 2010;Zalasiewicz et al., 2019). While there is ongoing debate regarding the starting date of the Anthropocene, a favoured interpretation is to associate it to the 'Great Acceleration': the surge of human impact on Earth since the mid-20th century (Steffen, Broadgate et al., 2015;McNeill & Engelke, 2016). Given the enormous significance of these facts and the observed and potential consequences for the Biosphere, the term has also been adopted to comprise its wider social, economic and cultural implications (
