[PeDAGoG] A new article on RED - "What if humans aren’t in charge of Earth? A review of Ecocene Politics by Mihnea Tănăsescu (2022)"

[Pallav Das]

Friends,

A new article, *"What if humans aren’t in charge of Earth?* A review
of *Ecocene
Politics *by Mihnea Tănăsescu (2022)" has just been published on RED. As
the world slides, inevitably, into a climate induced catastrophe, the
society is continually updating its vocabulary to ponder its angst and
anguish. Do words like "anthropocene", "plutocene", "capitalocene" describe
well the Earth era we are passing through? Or, is "ecocene" a better
descriptor? Christine Dann reviews Mihnea Tanasescu's recent book, "Ecocene
Politics" in which the author tries to discern the fractured relationship
between people and their environment, and rethinks the role politics could
play in repairing it. Dann concludes that Tanasescu, while on the right
track, needs to dig deeper into the available philosophical discourse on
environment as well as the current commentary on, and practice of,
ecological democracy to come up with a more convincing and coherent
argument.
