HOW LONG CAN A CULTURE PERSIST WITHOUT THE NEW? TINA AND THE RESEARCH OF A “COSMOLOGY” WORTHY OF THE ANTHROPOCENE. The essay intends to analyze the possibility of building/imagining a new cosmology in the time of the Anthropocene.

Abstract

HOW LONG CAN A CULTURE PERSIST WITHOUT THE NEW? TINA AND THE RESEARCH OF A “COSMOLOGY” WORTHY OF THE ANTHROPOCENE. The essay intends to analyze the possibility of building/imagining a new cosmology in the time of the Anthropocene. This will be the path: first, deconstructing the mainstream and fashionable narrative of the Anthropocene, highlighting all the ideological aspects whose it is formed, consciously and unconsciously; secondly, showing the limits of the ability to make philosophy and to imagine the new because of “capitalist realism”, which represents an asphyxiating, pervasive and all-encompassing imagine of reality; finally, outlining the profile of a new cosmology, capable of reactivating the power to imagine and act, beyond the TINA (there is no alternative) and in order to create the radically new, the only possible way out of the suffocating atmosphere of the fashionable Anthropocene and of “capitalist realism”.
