In his manifesto "The Future", anthropologist Marc Augé
states an increasingly conflict-laden division of the global population
into three groups: “a few powerful, a mass of rich consumers and
the great army of those who are excluded from labour and commodities.
In the context of increasing social inequality and ecological crises,
Augé argues for a renegotiation of the old question of the status
of human beings in the world alongside local, national and global justice
and solidarity. The interdisciplinary workshop addresses this thematic
field through the lens of the controversial concepts of the Anthropocene/Capitalocene/Chthulucene.
(Pre- and Post-) Anthropocene conceptions of humanity (transhuman, posthuman,
more-than-human, of many species) and practices are negotiated with a
focus on different socio-spatial contexts (e.g. urban, rurban, maritime,
terrestrial) in which these are performed and executed. *
