A Javanese Anthropocene?
Geographer and writer Adam Bobbette describes the reciprocal and porous relationship between society and geology in early twentieth-century Java, and Julia Adeney Thomas argues that the novelty of the Anthropocene lies in the shift from local geology to the chronicling of the Earth system

Vladimir Vernadsky and the Co-evolution of the Biosphere, the Noosphere, and the Technosphere
How does the current notion of “spheres” infiltrate thinking about the bio-techno-sphere, which today seems the best descriptive model for our own habitat?

The Terrestrial Is Not the Globe
Sociologist and epistemologist Bruno Latour interprets the disorienting situation we currently face along new lines of representation. Using the shift in cosmological perspective from the globe to the Earth brought about by the two concepts of Gaia and the Critical Zone, Latour reflects on the emergence of a new political subject: the “terrestrial.”

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?
