Imaginarios sociales y transición ecológica: El plan España 2050
Si la sostenibilidad medioambiental juega un papel creciente en la agenda política de la Unión Europea, el plan España 2050, publicado en el año 2021, fijó las bases discursivas de la España sostenible. Este artículo elucida cuál es ese ideal. Para ello, recurrimos al análisis del discurso: rastreamos la presencia en el texto de las categorías, conceptos y metáforas que componen un relato acerca de las causas y las soluciones de los problemas de …
Winning while waning? The cunning of ecological reason
More than 50 years have passed since the eco-emancipatory project (EEP) was launched in the wake of the silent revolution triggered by new social movements. A response to the side-effects of first (industrial) modernity, the EEP helped to shape a second (reflexive) modernity that was supposed to democratise society and liberate nature. But the EEP seems to have failed on that account - hence the post-apocalyptic turn within environmentalism. Howe…
Filosofía política e inteligencia artificial. Primeras noticias. Comentario a Mark Coeckelbergh, Filosofía política de la inteligencia artificial
La globalización de los movimientos sociales y el orden liberal. Acción política, resistencia cívica, democracia
Así como la configuración predominantemente estatal de la política tuvo en su centro a la movilización colectiva nacional, la emergencia de los movimientos sociales transnacionales está contribuyendo decisivamente a la redefinición contemporánea de la política posnacional. De hecho, no puede afirmarse simplemente que la mundialización haya producido formas transnacionales de acción colectiva; la propia mundialización es, en parte, la consecuencia…
What's in a Pandemic? Covid-19 and the Anthropocene
After the viral outbreak that hit populations across the planet in the first half of 2020, it has been argued that the coronavirus pandemic can be described as a quintessential phenomenon of the Anthropocene, i.e. the result of a particular stage of socionatural relations in which wild habitats are invaded and anthropogenic climate change creates the conditions for the emergence of more frequent viral pathogens. Likewise, it has also been argued …
Reformulating emancipation in the Anthropocene: From didactic apocalypse to planetary subjectivities
The ideal of emancipation has been traditionally grounded on the premise that human activity is not restrained by external boundaries. Thus the realisation of values such as autonomy or recognition has been facilitated by economic growth and material expansion. Yet there is mounting evidence that the human impact on natural systems at the planetary level, a novelty captured by the concept of the Anthropocene, endangers the Earth's habitability. I…
A Genealogy for Post-Truth Democracies: Philosophy, Affects, Technology
How to make sense of post-truth? As the erosion of truth seems to be on the rise in contemporary societies, apparently threatening the deliberative function assigned to their public spheres and the health of democratic systems, it has become a necessity to deal with this controversial phenomenon. This paper provides a genealogy for post-truth, shedding light on its roots. It focus on three different dimensions of “post-truthfulness:” the philosop…
Covid-19 as a Global Risk: Confronting the Ambivalences of a Socionatural Threat
On the face of it, the COVID-19 pandemic seems to fit into the risk society framework as a danger that is produced by the modernization process in its global stage. However, coronaviruses are a very particular kind of risk which risk theory does not properly explain. In fact, there is no single perspective on risk that offers a fully satisfactory account of the SARS-CoV-2, despite all of them having something valuable to contribute to the task. T…
Bedrock or social construction? What Anthropocene science means for political theory
How should political thinkers deal with environmental science? The question has acquired a new urgency with the rise of the Anthropocene, a scientific concept rapidly assimilated by the social sciences and the humanities. In that respect, some critics have levelled against it the well-known objections that environmental political thinkers and philosophers have directed towards science at large in the past. Anthropocene science might lead towards …
Blooming landscapes? The paradox of utopian thinking in the Anthropocene
By reminding human beings that they are earthly creatures who depend on the habitability of their planet, the Anthropocene is changing our relation with time. On the one hand, looking backward, it confronts us with the abyss of deep time; on the other hand, the future itself acquires a threatening quality as the possibility of a ‘hothouse Earth’ becomes increasingly plausible. I focus on the impact that such perceptive disruption has on green uto…
Understanding Fake News: Technology, Affects, and the Politics of the Untruth
This paper provides epistemic and conceptual tools for a better understanding of fake news. It begins by looking for a definition of fake news that distinguishes between fabricated news stories and biased claims, showing that fake news "stricto sensu" is less frequent and influential than expected. Then a multicausal account is provided that identifies six main drivers for the multiplication and spread of fabricated news: erosion of truth, digiti…
La ética ecológica en el Antropoceno
De qué manera afecta el Antropoceno a la ética ecológica? Sabido es que el primero no solo da cuenta de la formidable transformación de origen antropogénico experimentada por los sistemas planetarios, sino que de paso constata que el impacto humano sobre la Tierra es menos un accidente o contingencia que la consecuencia inevitable del modo de ser de la especie. Este artículo explorará las consecuencias que la actual emergencia planetaria tiene pa…
Urgency in the Anthropocene by Amanda H. Lynch and Siri Veland
As the growing number of books devoted to it suggests, the Anthropocene is here to stay: the concept has been embraced by a significant number of commentators as a useful – albeit imperfect – way o
Antropoceno sin Antropoceno = Anthropocene without Anthropocene
La digitalización de la conversación pública: Redes Sociales, Afectividad Política Y Democracia
This article deals with the impact of new communications technologies on democracy. It does so by analysing the processes by which public opinion is being partly digitalized - on account of the decisive importance that the quality of public opinion possesses for the quality of democracy. The focus is on the effects of citizens’ usage of social media and other digital platforms. Citizens themselves are mainly considered as affective subjects influ…
El giro antropocénico. Sociedad y medio ambiente en la era global
De acuerdo con los datos amasados por los científicos naturales, la colonización humana de la naturaleza ha alcanzado tal grado que hay razones para pensar que hemos dejado atrás el Holoceno para adentrarnos en una nueva era geológica caracterizada por la influencia humana sobre el funcionamiento del sistema planetario global: el Antropoceno. Lejos de constituir una mera curiosidad científica, esta recategorización de las relaciones entre el ser …
Spelling the End of Nature? Making Sense of the Anthropocene
I. Introduction Since it first appeared a few years ago, the notion of the Anthropocene has been gaining ground in the field of environmental studies and seems now to be everywhere. Admittedly, the label is appealing, and the news it communicates is dramatic. The success, then, seems justified. However, there is something else. The Anthropocene might just be what we were waiting for, namely, a notion able to encompass and express a number of shar…
Rethinking Sustainability in the Anthropocene
Climate change is provoking a pragmatic turn in our approach to sustainability, resulting in a more pluralistic debate about both the desirable sustainable society and the means by which it is to be achieved. The traditional green approach, founded on a moral view of the socio-natural relationship and inclined to a radical transformation of the current social system, now seems misguided. In this regard, sustainability should be considered as an i…

Hacia un constructivismo realista: De La Naturaleza Al Medio Ambiente
Si hay un campo en el que tiene importancia el debate acerca de la relación de la sociedad con la naturaleza, es la filosofía y sociología medioambientales. Es un debate dominado por el enfrentamiento entre realismo y constructivismo: entre quienes sostienen que la naturaleza es una entidad independiente de la sociedad y quienes alegan que la naturaleza es una construcción social. Es habitual que esta querella se resuelva mediante la afirmación d…

The democratisation of sustainability: The search for a green democratic model
It is often argued that the two main principles of green politics are the achievement of sustainability and the democratisation of democracy. The question arises of how sustainability and democratisation of democracy can be combined in the search for a new democratic model, namely green democracy. Distinguishing between two models of sustainability depending on the way in which they are related to democracy offers a very useful tool for thinking …
