Anthropology, Anthropocentrism and Anthropocene: From the Anthropocene Towards Anthropous Humanism and Environmentalist Anthropology

Objective: To raise theoretical reflections on the conceptions of the Anthropocene correlated to the moment we call environmentalist anthropology and the incipient theorization and conception of anthropohumanism. Theoretical framework: Overcoming theories purely from bio-exact sciences towards a multidisciplinary conception with input from areas of human knowledge such as anthropology and culture, sustainable development, ecology, psychoanalysis, among others. Method: A literature review was carried out in bibliographic databases such as Nature, Web of Science, Scielo and the Revista de Gestão Social e Ambiental. Results and discussions: During this research we arrived at some reflections and theorizations in which eco-anthropology, eco-development beyond the "physical" environment, for this purpose the contributions of theories from the human and critical sciences were addressed and were fundamental to a humanist conception of human and environmental development in an eco-sustainable way. Implications of the research: The implications are vast, as it is a topic with a more recent theoretical development, it led us to think, rethink and systematize the evolutionary process not only in the timeline, but also the multiple definitions and discussions about the milestones historical moments at which the Anthropocene originated and for its redefinition and/or multiple conceptions. Originality and value: It generated more comprehensive reflections on man's action on the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere and terrestrial geomorphology, as well as providing an innovative way for the more assertive development of terminologies with a new meaning and/or resignification of some terms such as ecoanthropology, environmental anthropology, anthropohumanism, among others.
