In the wake of the Anthropocene, the human and social sciences have in recent decades experienced an important ontological-analytical shift of focus towards the non-human beings that humans co-exist with and whom their livelihoods depend on. This turn has been crucial in re-distributing agencies towards nonhumans, and in restoring a sensibility for other living beings and humans. However, in this talk Schultz argues that getting closer to non-humans is not the only analytical strategy we need if we wish to face our times 'crisis of sensibilities'. Instead, based on his book 'Land Sickness', Schultz argues that we also need descriptions of how the existential conditions of the human being has metamorphosed in the Anthropocene and how the human has transformed into another kind of being - one leaving behind a set of traces that is slowly but certainly destroying its own species’ conditions of subsistence.
