What Matters Most Is the Wounded Planet

Abstract

Indeed, “something miniscule” – an almost indelible entity – has toppled life on a global scale for almost two years now, impelling us to notice the precariousness of life “that hang(s) together in fragile coordinations” (Swanson et al. M2). Shaped by the destabilizing forces of a deadly virus infection, lock-down depression, and the resulting social traumas, we are now living in the Pandemic-Ridden Age of the Anthropocene.
