Anthropocene
Definition
“Anthropocene”, which is suggested by Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer in 2000, is one of the suggestions to define the current geological era, view as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment (Oxford dictionary, 2020).
In other word, it names an age in which human industry has come to equal or even surpass the processes of geology, and in which humans in their attempt to conquer nature have inadvertently become a major force in its destruction(Crutzen&Stoermer, 2000; Steffen, et al., 2015).
Insight/Significant
The concept of Anthropocene means that human has become the dominant driver of global earth system change (Crutzen, 2002). In other words, the Anthropocene indicates that the earth-ecological crisis facing today was caused because of the developed power of socio-economy, not because of the earth system (Steffen, et al., 2011).
The Anthropocene challenges us all to radically rethink what nature, humans as well as the political and historical relationship between them might be at the end of the world, peppering its message of environmental doom with the promise of scientific renewal (and global survival) through trans-disciplinary collaboration. This bipolar message of a new science and a new politics amidst ruins is exhilarating for some, and seems to come at an opportune moment.(Harway, et al., 2015)
