Visioni della fine. Cosmologia Cosmopoiesi Cosmopolitica

Abstract

The Anthropocene-event is a global cultural fact that is changing the map of the contemporary imagination. This generates not only pop narratives and scientific discourses but also mythopoetic sketches. In this sense, new cosmologies are emerging as explanations of the world: extinctionism, accelerationism, singularity, nihilism, primitivism. This essay illustrates the genesis and dynamics of the new anthropocenic cosmologies.
