Abstract

The term "Anthropocene" is obfuscatory, and as an analytic framework it has a serious blind spot: the conflicts stemming from the uneven distribution of the costs and benefits of the "Age of Man," which are the very eco-conflicts on which artists in our field should focus. We should be talking about the "Capitalocene," a term that locates climate change within the history of capitalism and colonialism, and suggests stories that deserve time on our stages.
