The Politization of Time in the Age of Instability

The acceleration of the instability of the world is obvious. It concerns the increasing disorganization of life-scales, the scarcity of resources, the digitization of our means and conditions of existence, a new geological age commonly known as the “Anthropocene”, a problematic term which converts the chronotopic approach in a paradigmatic, millenarian stage, whereas the way we see the world and mingle with it is already the sign of a hybridization between technosphere and biosphere. This essay focuses on various ways to respond to instabilities in a world that seems to have accelerated, but which has become more pluralistic. However, this plurality must not blind us to the accelerated destruction of the social-environmental worlds, nor to the great difficulty of the construction of resistances.
