Ironies of the Anthropocene
Faced with the Anthropocene, Marcia Bjornerud sees a set of grave ironies at play that make it hard for any geologist to capture its real meaning. We can only acknowledge these ironies and use them wisely to restore a lost alliance with the Earth.

Anthropocene Lecture - Karen Litfin
Rather than viewing issues such as climate change and mass extinction as happening “out there,” what happens when we experience them emotionally and somatically as also happening “in here?”

Floating and Anthropos
When I close my eyes, I do not feel gravity, and hence I am in the world without gravity. If I am in the world without gravity, what I am doing must be floating. One basis for the new ethics in the Anthropocene.

Wisdom Techniques
The interlacing between knowledge and the technosphere has a very subtle yet decisive dimension: the collectively ingrained practices and routines that are the preconditions for adequately responding to the non-human dynamics of a world in transition. What are the regimes of sense training, ascetic modes of inquiry, and techniques of mental cultivation that let us learn and understand something? What might be needed to reshape and modify these in light of the predicament of the Anthropocene?
