- 10 October 17:00-19:00
- Program
The panel talked about questions such as:
- How are current crises linked to the Anthropocene, and how is this discussed in academia?
- What policies address these crises, particularly in fields like climate change, artificial intelligence, and security? What strategies and patterns of reaction emerge in managing complexity and systems?
- What are the implications for democracy in the Anthropocene? Is there a conflict between governance and democratic principles?
- What new forms of power arise in complex terrains, and how do they impact exclusions and hierarchies?
- How do governing, knowledge, direction, and entanglements intersect in the Anthropocene? Is discussing “governing (in) the Anthropocene” meaningful?
- What tools are needed for (critical) theories and political analysis?
- Which concepts are useful for understanding the Anthropocene and its governance?
- What are the potentials, pitfalls, and limits of new anthropocenic ontologies? Are they more or less democratic?
