- ArticleFrom Anthropocene to Mediocene? On the Use and Abuse of Stratifying the Earth’s Crust by Mapping Time into SpaceToepfer, Georg (2018) , S. 73-84Das ›Mediozän‹ unterscheidet sich insofern von geologischen Epochen, als es nicht um physische Ablagerungen geht, sondern um relationale Verschränkung. Die wichtigste Veränderung im Mediozän ist, dass die Umwelt Teil eines einzigen verwalteten globalen Systems geworden ist. Diese Innovation bezieht sich auf eine radikale Veränderung der Beziehung zwischen Leben und Umwelt: Medien haben alles so miteinander verbunden, dass es keine Umwelt mehr gibt und das System überall ist.
- ArticleMedianaturesParikka, Jussi (2018) , S. 103-106The article outlines the concept of medianatures. The term is a neologism and in debt to Donna Haraway’s rather eloquent and important coinage naturecultures that already functioned to mark the constant co-becomings of supposedly separated spheres of nature and culture. Medianatures is a further elaboration that elaborates the tie between the earth materialities that are mobilized for technological infrastructures, visual technologies, applications and devices, and the onto- epistemological stance that then feeds back into understanding those planetary scale earth materialities in the first place: the techniques of vision, observation, calculation, and circulation that are part of the governance of the earth and its various localities.
- ArticleOdyssey without Nostos, or, From Globe to PlanetHerrmann, Hans-Christian von (2018) , S. 147-156We are witnessing a return of cosmology in 20th and 21st century thinking. It is cosmology in the ancient greek sense of the word which addressed the entirety of what surrounds and carries us. Another term for this ongoing transformation is the ›planetary‹ which isn’t simply a synonym for the ›global‹. The planetary means a kind of boundless pervasion based on science and technology and transposing planet earth and human life from a culture-historical to a cosmic scale.
