ARTICOLI / 3 / Gregers Andersen /
We are on the brink of entering a new age in Earth’s history that calls for a radical rethinking of what Heidegger conceptualizes as dwelling. As the notion of the Anthropocene makes it ontologically impossible for humans to let non-human entities appear in their own presencing, Heidegger’s fourfold dissolves and a new geomorphic fold emerges as the ground for human existence. In this article I trace how this fold transfigures the relationship between poetics and ecological engagement, and thereby constitute a new operating space for contemporary literature.
