The Capitalocene and related socioeconomic frameworks fail to address how the Anthropocene disrupts Western humanist meta-narratives of linear temporality and emancipation.
Theoretical analysis evaluates debates across environmental history, contrasting Jason Moore's capital accumulation model with Dipesh Chakrabarty's geological deep time.
Highlights that the postanthropocentric turn requires integrating geological deep time into critical theory, exposing the analytical limits of purely history-centric paradigms.
