{"title":"The Problem with the Anthropocene: Kainos, Not Anthropos","authors":"John McGuire","doi":"10.1111/1467-8675.12686","DOIUrl":"10.1111/1467-8675.12686","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Almost immediately after it was mooted as a descriptor for our current geological age, the Anthropocene came under sustained criticism. It was said the label projected unearned heroism onto humanity as master of the natural world, while downplaying the culpability of the Global North for unlocking the ruinous potential of industrialism and technology (Bonneuil &amp; Fressoz, <span>2016</span>; Haraway, <span>2015</span>; Malm, <span>2015</span>; Moore, <span>2015</span>). Numerous alternatives have been suggested to diagnose those self-destructive tendencies more precisely: Capitalocene, Plantationocene, Urbanocene, Necrocene, etc. But while the human-centric prefix of the Anthropocene continues to draw the most scrutiny, I will focus upon its latinized suffix, <i>cænus</i>—or rather its original Greek equivalent, <i>kainos</i> (“new,” “novel,” “innovative”). My concern is with the way “innovation” and “novelty” are imbued with a sense of qualitative superiority, so that the pursuit of innovation becomes an indispensable part of any strategy to ameliorate climate crisis. I argue that developing more robust responses to the Anthropocene necessitates our reckoning with the myopia of innovation—not just the inevitable uncertainties of implementing new technologies, but also the valorization of <i>possessive ingenuity</i> that inhibits any social utility.</p><p>The blitheness with which such writers wave away the potential devastation of climate change is predicated in no small way upon their assumption that if “the tropics” (or rest of the Global South) became uninhabitable, the continued prosperity of the Global North still represents a net positive result—provided enough “intellectually talented” individuals survive.¹ The danger of all such technophilic solutionism lies in the perversity of its priorities. Rather than addressing mundane concerns like homelessness, access to potable water, or infrastructural maintenance, the doyens of “effective altruism” fixate upon the infinite horizon, the concerns of early Martian colonists, or the threat of sentient AI. Speculative fantasy can be wonderful, but not if it is allowed to dominate and derail policy discussions: Recent meetings of the UN Convention on Climate Change (COP26 in Scotland, COP27 in Egypt) demonstrate how “moonshot” approaches to climate melioration reinforce the belief among investors and policymakers that “setting a goal and encouraging innovation to achieve it” is always preferable to basing strategies on what “is possible with current solutions and technologies.”² In 2021 and 2022, Indigenous groups representing those most affected by climate change were denied official credentials or had their credentials revoked, while a parade of climate start-ups and entrepreneurial disruptors were granted enormously lucrative opportunities to tout robotic insect pollinators, milk casein textiles, aeroponic farms, photosynthesis calculators, and solar-powered shirt-ironi","PeriodicalId":51578,"journal":{"name":"Constellations-An International Journal of Critical and Democratic Theory","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8675.12686","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49159269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
