cthulucene?

Haraway’s alternative to the old-fashioned and apocalyptic connotations of Anthropocene. She insists that it isn’t derived from Lovecraft, but from the Greek “khthon” or earth: denoting the coming era of interlinked and ecological life.

I figured it had something to do with the cthonic, but the conjugation teases us with that possibility. Besides which Lovecraftian would allow writing Cthulhu without the second 'h'?

Hui refers to such an ontological turn starting from §2. in the following: http://www.e-flux.com/journal/86/161887/cosmotechnics-as-cosmopolitics/ …

Thanks for posting. I was unaware of this author. I don't think the nature that the author writes about is the same one Kant has in mind: he finds hope in the discovery of planetary motion the key to understanding the movement of reason through history.

One way to counter the epistemically violence is to excavate what other epistemically possibilities were subordinated or extirpated by eurocentrism. We get multiple, alter modernities, globalisation etc. Or we could start with an ontology of the void, of multiple being.
