Summary/Abstract: Stemming from the natural sciences, the concept of Anthropocene opened a variety of discussions in the humanities, provoking “us” to think otherwise. One of the challenges of the Anthropocene is the question of scale. Some question the obviousness of scale as the categories such as micro and macro, local and global/planetary no longer correspond with reality. The geologic time and time of a zoe coincide in many unobvious and unfelt ways. Cross-scale thinking and language is a way to think with the Anthropocene to grasp its planetary and global nature as well as the diverse situated and embodied human-non-human life forms.
