W e, academics, thinkers, activists and professionals, Chileans and foreigners, from the broad spectrum of natural and social sciences, the humanities, the arts and the spiritual world, make a call to rethink from its basis the way in which we inhabit “the human” and its place in the history of the Earth. Our call emerges in response to the Anthropocene, a notion proposed recently by the Subcommittee on Stratigraphy of the International Quaternary Union of Geological Sciences to refer to a geological epoch that would follow the Holocene. As its name reflects, the Anthropocene would be defined by the irreversible changes in the biophysical and geological conditions, at a planetary scale, as a consequence of human actions. In contrast to climate change, the notion of the Anthropocene refers to human influence at a planetary scale. That is, the Anthropocene signals a process that involves the Earth system as a whole and not only some of its components. Similarly, the Anthropocene refers to a process over a significant timescale in the history of Earth and, therefore, beyond specific ecosystemic transformations. Lastly, the Anthropocene indicates the potential extinction of the conditions of the biosphere that enable human life on Earth. Since the changes in the conditions of the biosphere are the result of colonialism, capitalism, and a consumption-oriented society, the Anthropocene has generated an intense debate not only in the field of earth sciences but also in the social sciences, humanities, and the arts. This debate has revolved around the need to rethink the relationship between nature and society; the cohabitation between human and biophysical

“智利人类世:迈向新的共存条约”简介

来自自然科学和社会科学,人文,艺术和精神世界等广泛领域的学者,思想家,激进主义者和专业人士,智利人和外国人,呼吁从其基础上重新考虑我们的居住方式:人类”及其在地球历史上的地位。我们的呼吁是对人类世的回应,这是国际地质科学第四纪联合会地层小组委员会最近提出的一个概念,指的是继全新世之后的地质时代。顾名思义,人类活动的定义是人类活动在地球范围内生物物理和地质条件的不可逆变化。与气候变化相反,人类世的概念是指人类在行星尺度上的影响。那是,人类始发信号表明一个过程涉及整个地球系统,而不仅仅是其某些组成部分。同样,人类世是指地球历史上相当长的时间范围内的一个过程,因此,超出了特定的生态系统转变。最后,人类世表明生物圈条件的潜在灭绝,使地球上的人类得以生存。由于生物圈条件的变化是殖民主义,资本主义和消费型社会的结果,因此人类世不仅在地球科学领域而且在社会科学,人文科学和人类社会引起了激烈的争论。艺术。这场辩论围绕重新思考自然与社会之间关系的需要展开。人与生物物理之间的同居
