Interpreting the Anthropocene
Online Workshop
December 3rd 2020, 14.00-19.15 and December 4th 2020, 14.00-19.00
The Anthropocene is the era of pervasive human impact on the planet. Atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane concentrations that exceed Holocene peak levels, techno-fossils frozen in Greenland ice sheets, and massive species extinction are all indications of planetary boundaries that have come under stress due to human industrial, commercial, and agricultural activity. Humanity’s relationship to its environment is changing. Lagging behind that change is serious reflection on how best to understand and direct it.
This will bring together theorists working at the intersection of moral, political, social, and environmental theory/philosophy.

Barbieri (Catholic University of America), Jelena Belic (Leiden University), Nihan Bozok (Beykent University Istanbul), Daniel Callies (UCSD), Arianne Conty (American University of Sharjah), Jamie Draper (University of Oxford), Petra Gümplová (University of Erfurt), Özge Kelekçi (METU Ankara), Facundo Nahuel Martín (Universidad de Buenos Aires), Alex McLaughlin (University of Cambridge), Darrel Moellendorf (GU Frankfurt, Normative Orders), Ben Mylius (Columbia University) and Patrick Taylor Smith (University of Twente)

Many communities in the United States have been abandoned by the state. What happens when natural disasters add to their misery? This book looks at the broken relationship between the federal government and civil society in times of crises.
Mutual aid has gained renewed importance in providing relief when hurricanes, floods and pandemics hit, as cuts to state spending put significant strain on communities struggling to survive. Harking back to the self-organised welfare programmes of the Black Panther Party, radical social movements from Occupy to Black Lives Matter are building autonomous aid networks within and against the state. However, as the federal responsibility for relief is lifted, mutual aid faces a profound dilemma: do ordinary people become complicit in their own exploitation?
Reframing disaster relief through the lens of social reproduction, Peer Illner tracks the shifts in American emergency aid, from the economic crises of the 1970s to the COVID-19 pandemic, raising difficult questions about mutual aid’s double-edged role in cuts to social spending. As sea levels rise, climate change worsens and new pandemics sweep the globe, Illner’s analysis of the interrelations between the state, the market and grassroots initiatives will prove indispensable.

Crisis Talks des Leibniz-Forschungsverbund „Krisen einer globalisierten Welt“
Krisen sind in der EU historisch ein wichtiger Motor der Veränderung und des Fortschritts. In Krisensituationen ist die von großer Heterogenität geprägte und auf konsensuale Meinungsbildung ausgerichtete EU bisher meist in der Lage gewesen, gemeinsame Wahrnehmungen herzustellen, Blockaden zu überwinden und Integration zu gestalten. Der Leibniz-Forschungsverbund „Krisen einer globalisierten Welt“ geht in der Reihe Crisis Talks der Frage nach, wie Europa mit seinen aktuellen und vergangenen Krisen umgehen sollte.
Veranstalter:
Die Hessische Ministerin für Bundes- und Europaangelegenheiten Lucia Puttrich und der Leibniz-Forschungsverbund „Krisen einer globalisierten Welt“ gemeinsam mit dem Forschungsverbund "Normative Ordnungen" an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main
