Abstract

In recent years a significant number of contributions coming from different fields of study are developing an understanding of political ecology beyond the modern bifurcation between society and environment. Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour and Isabelle Stengers occupy a prominent place in the contemporary debate. In this article I explore a network of key concepts, such as terrestrial politics, Chthulucene and cos- mopolitics, as a lure for thinking political ecology in the human-non-human contin- uum. These three perspectives are helping me to stay with three key problematics in contemporary politics: the necessity to think a third political space against and beyond regressive nationalism and green globalism, the processes of politicisation of a ris- ing everyday environmentalism and the pragmatics capable of nurturing transversal alliances, compositions and coalitions amongst divergent singularities and socio-eco- logical movements in the time of the intrusions of Gaia.
