The word “Anthropocene” has been criticized for the way that it lumps all humans together as one homogenous group, thus masking the fact that accountability for today’s environmental crises is not evenly distributed, but instead falls to certain groups, political orientations, and ways of being. How can we hold institutions and ideologies—neoliberal capitalism, mega corporations, and Europe’s colonial enterprise—to account in a way that ensures a fairer future? In one pathway, author and researcher Macarena Gómez-Barris frames capitalist resource extraction as a war against the Earth that must be confronted without reproducing the organizing logics of whiteness and Eurocentricity. She emphasizes the importance of hope, play, and joy as powerful decolonial modes of encountering, and accounting for, the damage done. In the second pathway, historian Kate Brown sees accountability as a process rather than a verdict: something that is always ongoing. Brown’s pathway emphasizes the importance of including nonhumans in our accounting for the Anthropocene, shifting our awareness to the labor and lives of more-than-human organisms that bear the imprints of past human action.
