Le Symbiocène : une ère de symbiose pour succéder à l’Anthropocène

Le philosophe Glenn Albrecht propose le #Symbiocène : une nouvelle ère où l’humanité vivrait en symbiose avec le vivant, réduisant son empreinte et tissant des liens d’entraide avec toutes les espèces. #Symbiocène #Anthropocène #TransitionÉcologique Inventé par le philosophe australien Glenn Albrecht, le concept de Symbiocène désigne l’ère qui pourrait succéder à l’Anthropocène, cette période où…

Synopsis

"Peut-être qu'un équilibre est possible entre vie professionnelle épanouissante et militantisme à côté. Mais moi je n'y arrive pas."

"À la différence de la poésie par exemple, si les mathématiques sont aujourd'hui extrêmement valorisées et financées, notamment par des banques qui spéculent et investissent dans les énergies fossiles, c'est bien parce qu'elles servent des intérêts économiques, qui eux-mêmes participent aux ravages en cours."

Anthropozän: Vor einem Jahr lehnte es die Spitzenorganisation der #Geologie ab, eine neue, nach dem Einfluss des Menschen benannte Erdepoche einzuführen. Doch die Kontroverse ist damit nicht beendet, im Gegenteil. Gerade in der Geologie wurden schon oft kapitale Irrtümer später korrigiert.
Mein Blick zurück in die Wissenschaftsgeschichte und nach vorne auf die laufenden Umbrüche:

Perhaps you know about the art collaboration between Herbert Duprat and #caddisflies producing precious #casings?
Inspired by this work, biologist Auke-Florian Hiemstra et al. worked about the cases for detecting #plasticWaste before the term #microplastics existed.

A fascinating thread about the scientists' detective work https://bsky.app/profile/aukeflorian.nl/post/3lmeqk4xpnc2m and the study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969725005820
#Trichoptera tell about 50 years of #plastics history.

I have spent the last 2 years focusing on waste management, especially that of Electronic Waste—from the mining of the resources to the discarding of the commodities, and while we are well aware of the pattern of disparity between the over-consumption in the Global North and overproduction in the Global Majority parts of the world, the problems largely still exists. Who to blame, somebody is surely making profits from this trade deal.

Anthropocene is a (Poubelle)ocene.

Certain headlines, like the one below, always make me feel disgusted, knowing that the patterns of dreadful and atrocious colonial practices are still prevalent. I am so perplexed as to what design thinking hat to put on or what circular economy principles to explain the exporting of trash to their previous colonies.

Not only that, but in a recent survey commissioned by the Repair Campaign (https://repaircampaign.org/), more than 2,000 people in the UK found that 85% did not know that more than 3 million people had been forcibly shipped from Africa to the Caribbean by British enslavers. It also found 89% were unaware British merchants had enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years.

As Dr. Shashi Tharoor has mentioned various times, "And LOOT, a Hindi word which the Britishers took into their dictionaries as well as their habit" (Link below of the talk of Dr. Shashi Tharoor - Looking Back at the British Raj in India at the University of Edinburgh)
