| Summary: | Calls to “hack” the Anthropocene highlight the necessity of destabilizing, diversifying, and decolonizing understandings of the anthropos and the complex ecological relationalities obscured by majoritarian visions of anthropogenic planetary change. In this short intervention, we contend that hacking the Anthropocene must be collaborative in nature. Specifically, it must be a morethan-human collaboration. We present three propositions on more-than-human collaborations as: storying; resistance; and orientation. More-than-human collaborations are fundamental to a politics and praxis of knowledge- and worldmaking. Borne from ontologies of relationality, they become epistemological as method and verb, reflecting an aspiration for convivial multispecies futures. |
