What if Sheila Fitzpatrick's string-pulling, free-loadingHomo sovieticuswas compelled to enroll creatively not only his compatriots but also materials and nature in the struggles for survival? What if the fuzziness of private property in postsocialist Romania in Katherine Verdery's classic article "The Elasticity of Land," had just as much to do with meandering streams, winds, and trees dying or growing, as with the absence of proper legal or cartographic documentation due to "purely social" history? What if figurative spaces such as Alexei Yurchak's "internal exile," "zagranitsa," "parallel universe," or "vnye" were real places and were in and of nature—as Douglas Weiner started to consider when he called his nature preserves and circles of conservationists "little corners of freedom"?

Environmentalists have always valued the idea of thinking globally--and the idea of the Anthropocene is certainly a planetary thought. That thought, of course, is that Earth has entered a new geological epoch, characterized most determinately by human activity. To speak precisely, geologists have advanced the hypothesis that at this moment human activity is making a detectable contribution to the materials presently forming the rock that will be an entry in Earth's 'permanent record.' On this hypothesis, observers in the distant future will be able to observe a geological stratum marking a boundary between two broadly distinct conditions of the Earth system: the Holocene coming before, and the Anthropocene coming after. But what originated within geology has come to assume a less specific meaning and a wider significance. Here, Trachtenberg examines the implications of the Anthropocene for ethical thinking about human activity in the environment. Adapted from the source document.

This article describes some aspects of an Italian didactic-pedagogic experiment about interaction between "town" pupils and natural environments. The project's general philosophy is to try to make pupils aware of our condition as "biocultural beings," as results of biological, technological, and cultural co-evolution. The presence of extensive natural, cultural, and technological resources at the site where the experiment takes place favors such an awareness.Some examples of teaching techniques designed especially to introduce pupils to the difficult but necessary subject matter of co-evolution are also described. Such teaching techniques have as their main goal to make the pupils themselves able to construct a logical network of questions, rather than in teachers giving them already prepared answers.The as yet unresolved problems, which concern the training of teachers steeped in traditional methods, are also briefly described.
