Long abstractAssuming the Anthropocene marks an epistemological fault line that liquefies and questions traditional forms of knowledge, this text argues for a detailed analysis of two of its possible genealogies. It firstly follows a turn to ecology via environmentality and the offsets of cybernetics, thereby proposing that a general ecology itself marks a current epistemic formation. In contrast, a critical genealogy of the Anthropocene’s colonial condition points at coloniality as the unthought but constitutive momentum for the modern episteme. Thus, both genealogies outline a specific understanding of modernity leading to the shifts at stake, and suggest possibilities to navigate these unsettled conditions.
