Resumo
This essay develops the notion of the Chthulucene as a way to think about the relationalities of living and dying on a damaged Earth. The Chthulucene is a time of mortal compositions and recompositions. The urgent and troubling nature of the Anthropocene requires a more nuanced approach than the “Man” of the Anthropocene can offer. The Chthulucene, a kind of time-place for learning to stay with the trouble of living and dying in a thick present on a damaged Earth, offers an aspirational name for sympoietic earthly ongoingness. The Chthulucene is a call to action, a means to attune to the myriad relationalities that constitute life and death in order to live and die well on a damaged Earth.
