A 2014 paper by Andreas Malm and Alf Hornborg claims that the Anthropocene narrative “portrays humanity as a species ascending to power over the rest of the Earth system” (62). The authors Andreas Malm and Alf Hornborg remind us that ‘in the early 21st century, the poorest 45% of the human population accounted for 7% of emissions, while the richest 7% produced 50%’.’ They ask, ‘Are these basic facts reconcilable with a view of humankind as the new geological agent? [9] Alf Hornborg and Andreas Malm argue strongly against using the term Anthropocene. Writing that: ‘the Anthropocene’ might be a useful concept and narrative for polar bears and amphibians and birds who want to know what species is wreaking such havoc on their habitats, but alas, they lack the capacity to scrutinize and stand up to human actions. For instance, in the new interdisciplinary journal The Anthropocene Review, Andreas Malm and Alf Hornborg worry that the blanket prefix “Anthropo” illicitly glosses uneven histories and geographies of environmental change that make the modern capitalist West the principal villain in the drama of the Holocene's eclipse. 45 The Anthropocene is a fraught concept that takes the environmental damage done by a few and applies it to the anthropos, or all of humanity (Chakrabarty, Malm and Hornborg, Harraway). My first encounter with the Anthropocene was in Crutzen’s foundational article “ Geology of Mankind ” (2002), alongside Chakrabarty’s, Haraway’s, and Malm and Hornborg’s criticisms of Crutzen’s work.

Alf hornborg anthropocene

Rather than confine itself, like mainstream economics, to the study of signs and subjectivities, it needs to develop its capacity to deal with the interaction of the symbolic and the material. In the Anthropocene – an age troubled by global processes of material degradation – anthropology is constrained by its emphasis on local experience. Rather than confine itself, like mainstream economics, to the study of signs and subjectivities, it needs to develop its capacity to deal with the interaction of the symbolic and the material.

Alf Hornborg has shown himself to be a leading member of this establishment in his willingness to smear those he sees as his “A third irony is that Cox appears to think that he needs to remind me that the “humans” responsible for the Anthropocene are a global minority. He is obviously not aware of the article that Andreas Malm While it is a contested term (Malm & Hornborg, 2014), the 'Anthropocene' has aroused an upsurge of interest in the natural and social sciences, as well as in fields across the arts and humanities.
