Description
The collected texts represent selected projects of the graduates of the microcredential learning programme Anthropocene: the contemporary world in a transdisciplinary perspective, organized by the Centre for Theoretical Study, a joint research institute of Charles University and the Czech Academy of Sciences, in 2025. The programme addresses the complex topic of the Anthropocene from the perspectives of different disciplines and fosters collaboration between the social and natural sciences, as well as between academic and non-academic forms of knowledge. Each chapter presents one Anthropocene entity, that is, a tangible singular object that – when viewed through a certain perspective – can say something essential about the nature of the Anthropocene. Anthropocene phenomena are complex, dynamically changing, and interconnected in ways that are often counterintuitive. The four Anthropocene phenomena in this publication – banana, seashells, sunscreen, and destruction linked to surface mines – offer diverse examples of such entanglements.
