Anthropocene

Definition

The Anthropocene, which is suggested by Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer in 2000, is the name of proposed era in which human activities have significant effects on the earth’s geology and its environment (Lewis et al., 2015). The concept Anthropocene has been developed and explored by various discipline, including atmospheric chemistry, climatology, oceanography, and geology, (Hamilton et al, 2015). “The Anthropocene” is now a buzzword in international geoscience circles and commanding the attention of various social scientists and humanists (Castree, 2014).   

According to statement of John P. Rafferty, Anthropocene is derived from Greek and means the “recent age of man”. The Greek words anthropo, for “man,” and cene “new.”  The Anthropocene concept possesses an uncommon grandeur or capaciousness. This was more than a “pure” science concept, it significantly amplified the socio-economic, cultural and political implications of the climate change idea (Castree, 2014). Over the last decade the concept of the Anthropocene seems to have spread virally, crossing the boundaries between the natural and social sciences and humanities with remarkable ease(Barry et al., 2016). But the definite emergence Anthropocene era is not defined.     

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)
