Resumo

In this chapter, Bruno Latour offers a personal perspective on the role of anthropology in the era of the Anthropocene. He argues that the discipline needs to shift its focus from studying pre-modern societies to understanding the complex interactions between humans and the Earth system. Latour critiques traditional anthropological notions of 'culture' and 'nature' as separate entities, advocating instead for a focus on 'hybrid' networks that encompass both human and non-human actors. He proposes that anthropology should engage with the sciences, particularly Earth system science, to develop new methodologies and theoretical frameworks for understanding the Anthropocene. Latour emphasizes the importance of studying the practices and institutions that shape human-environment relations, and he calls for a more engaged and politically relevant anthropology that contributes to addressing the challenges of global environmental change.
