人类世的命题使得社会科学有必要以新颖的方式与时间性接触。人类世强调了“自然”和“社会”非线性时间过程之间的相互联系。然而，人类世历史的叙述往往再现线性的，人类发展的进步叙述。这就排除了非线性时间性思维为政治科学提供的可能性。将人类世的时间复杂性作为一个突出非线性的断裂时刻，可以更充分地承认生活在一个被破坏的星球上的情感影响。作为一个关于时间断裂的话语，人类世是对与地球及其居民的剥削关系所带来的巨大不安全感和损失的评估。在这种形式下，人类世论文强调了不平等和剥削的物质和社会遗产如何塑造我们的现在，并界定我们的未来。通过将对暴力过去的清算纳入未来的实践，一种富有成效的哀悼政治可能会形成。
The Anthropocene thesis makes it necessary for the social sciences to engage with temporality in novel ways. The Anthropocene highlights interconnections between ‘natural’ and ‘social’ non-linear temporal processes. However, accounts of humanity’s Anthropocene history often reproduce linear, progressive narratives of human development. This forecloses the possibilities that thinking with non-linear temporalities would offer to the political sciences. Engaging with the temporal complexity of the Anthropocene as a moment of rupture that highlights non-linearity allows to acknowledge more fully the affective impact of living on a disrupted planet. As a discourse about temporal rupture, the Anthropocene is a stocktaking of the already vast insecurities and losses brought about by exploitative relationships with earth and its inhabitants. In this form, the Anthropocene thesis highlights how material and social legacies of inequality and exploitation shape our present and delimit our imaginaries of the future. By including a reckoning of violent pasts into future practices, a productive politics of mourning could take shape.
