A Blackened Ecology for the End of the Summer
Every summer in the past 16 years Europe and North America—and not only—is affected by global warming evident through the heat waves and wildfires they experience while research from the past decade highlights that the Global South, despite contributing the least to historical greenhouse gas emissions, faces disproportionate vulnerabilities to climate change due to the…

Amazonian Accelerationism
In one of the chapters of his book Against Progress (2025), Slavoj Žižek offers an interesting concept of Accelerationism: “Accelerationism, a recent form of historic determinism, is a notion whose basic core should not be confused with its different versions and aspects (neofeudalism against egalitarian democracy, abundancy communism, and so on).
