Abstract

[The teaching of utopian dreaming in a classroom setting can be made relevant to the current situation facing humanity through a confrontation with what Jason W. Moore calls the “Capitalocene.” With the “Capitalocene,” the inhabitants of the capitalist system confront their place in natural history, within an era in which capitalism ultimately transforms the planet as an extinction event. The “Capitalocene” manifests itself most immediately as an environmental crisis. With the environmental crisis, the “Capitalocene” acquires epic proportions which must be addressed in education.]
