„Make Kin, Not Babies”. Living Together on a Damaged Planet in the Chthulucene of Donna Haraway

Aleksandra Derra

Abstract


The aim of the article is to discuss the basic assumptions, theses and solutions of Donna Haraway’s book “Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene”. The author places the considerations of an American philosopher and biologist on the background of her earlier books and conceptual proposals. She analyses her suggestion of using the category of Chthulucene instead of Anthropocene, the category of sympoietic system instead of an autopoietic one, she presents her appeal for creating new forms of kinship and extensive response-ability for each other

Keywords
