Books / Donna Haraway takes on the Anthropocene
All of this should translate into a migration from the Anthropocene to
what she terms, in distinction from H.P. Lovecraft’s monster, the
Chthulucene: ‘an elsewhere and elsewhen that was, still is and might yet
be’. Migration, here, should not be seen as moving in time and across
space lured by the promise of a better future. Rather, we should get in
touch – mentally, affectively and practically – with a timescape in
which becoming-with each other enables all species to flourish and
allows for the mourning of those already extinct.
