“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

First Anthropocene Essay Out of the Way

...unlike the Anthropocene, unfortunately, which is still very much with us. It's for a special issue of a journal edited by Tom Ford, a sort of “What next after theory?” deal. Title:

“From Modernity to the Anthropocene: Ecology and Art in the Age of Asymmetry,” The International Social Science Journal 209.

Now I'm going to finish my second Anthropocene essay for Oxford Literary Review
