No. 24 (2021): Anthropocene and the crisis of anthropocentrism

Anthropocentrism has been put in check in the field of cultural and anthropological studies with great vigor, especially with the crisis that began in the 1960s, which has as its axis the representation of alterity and authenticity in ethnographic studies, as James Clifford and George Marcus point out in Writing Culture Debates (1986). In effect, the post-1968 period shed new light on how to talk about other peoples, other existences, and reflect the differences that humanism had hitherto left out.
