Chapter 4 discusses the philosophy of climate change of Sylvia Wynter. Wynter’s work extends that of Fanon into a philosophy of genre. Wynter argues that the inspiration for the sciences of sex, madness, illness, indigence, and sexual classification of the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries in Western Europe is the science of racial anatomy. And this science of racial anatomy is what creates the current genre of biocentrism that is also responsible for climate change. This chapter examines the gesture of hybridity in the work of both Bruno Latour and Sylvia Wynter. |
