Myślenie (z) gąszczem. O relacyjnych narracjach w czasach antropocenu na przykładzie epigenetyki. Perspektywa feministycznego nowego materializmu
Thinking (with) the Thicket. On Relational Thinking in Times of the Anthropocene on the Example of Epigenetics. Feminist New Materialist Perspective

Summary/Abstract: In her article, Monika Rogowska-Stangret reflects on the kind of humanities that might be adequate for the epoch of theAnthropocene, when both the conditions of living on the planet Earth and traditional modes of thinking have been destabilized.Drawing inspiration mainly from two trends in contemporary philosophy, critical posthumanism and feministnew materialisms, the author suggests relational thinking as a response to the Anthropocene. She characterizes relationalthinking (sometimes referred to as thinking (with) the thicket) with reference to one example, epigenetics. She definesthinking (with) the thicket and explains the notion of epigenetics and its concerns. Finally, she addresses three challengesthat humanities are faced with in the Anthropocene, thinking with “unruly edges” (thinking outside dualism and “modernconstitution”), thinking (with) scales, and, finally, thinking the human being outside the poisoner-savior logic.
