Eremocene: Thinking in a Time of Massive Extinction.>

Currently, planet Earth is facing an astonishing haemorrhage of bio-cultural diversity. Humanity, for the first time in its history, is involved in a mass extinction event, precisely the Sixth Extinction. That is the reason why according to Edward O. Wilson the Anthropocene should be better called the Eremocene, or the Age of Solitude. In this time of loss, Relations. Beyond Anthropocentrism welcomes papers from every discipline dedicated to the phenomenon of extinction. Several are the topics related to this issue. Which sort of event is the extinction? When a species goes extinct? Shall we use the term of bio-proportionality instead of biodiversity? In which way destruction shapes us? Following in the footstep of the Extinction Studies Working Group this Call aims to point out the meaning of co-existence and death into a multispecies community.
