{"id":2880,"count":29,"description":"The Anthropocene is the proposed geological epoch defined by human activity as a planetary force, leaving stratigraphic traces in earth systems. It names climate change, mass extinction, and industrial extraction as markers of geological time. Yet the concept is contested, for it risks universalizing \u201chumanity\u201d while obscuring differentiated responsibility across class, race, and geography. In design and theory, the Anthropocene unsettles the ground of practice, forcing a confrontation with the entanglement of culture, nature, and geology. It is both a scientific claim and a cultural symptom of ecological crisis.","link":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/topics\/concepts-theories\/anthropocene\/","name":"Anthropocene","slug":"anthropocene","taxonomy":"topics","parent":2786,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/2880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/topics"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/2786"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?topics=2880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
