Here we address the critical matter of the species relationship with wild nature, frequently viewed through the epochal lens of ‘the Anthropocene’.
This is challenged: is it actually Capitalocene? Plantationocene? Does it commence in 1950 (the Bomb, a high Fordist artefact), or in the Paleolithic (settled agriculture)?
This ‘sector’ is only still emergent, as a known - indeed, now *inescapable* - ‘economy’, which urgently must be brought under actively curated and intentionally *produced* relations of commoning.
Through the history of human species till now, this field has been regarded as divine gift and limitless bounty, to be honoured in an aesthetic commons of respectful consumption and mutuality of living. ‘Anthropocene’ will serve, as a term to refer to relationship with wild nature. The suffix , *ocene*, serves to register that this is really a rather old and deep-rooted relationship, and that a trans-modern mode of commoning may yet be the form of resurgent and insurgent relationship that it calls for.
