CONCEPT DEFINATION

Anthropocene Noun https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/anthropocene/

Period of time during which human activities have impacted the environment enough to constitute a distinct geological change.

The Anthropocene Epoch is an unofficial unit of geologic time, used to describe the most recent period in Earth’s history when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems. The word Anthropocene is derived from the Greek words anthropo, for “man,” and cene for “new,” coined and made popular by biologist Eugene Stormer and chemist Paul Crutzen in 2000.

Relationality

Noun

Relational means indicating relation(s) or relationship; concerning the way in which two or more people or things are connected. It would follow, therefore, that relationality means ‘being related to’; ‘in a relationship’; ‘connectedness’; but try Yeung (2005) TIBG 30, 1, who describes relationality as an ‘essential quality embedded in an iterative process of drawing interconnections between two or more discrete categories and phenomena that may not necessarily be binaries’.

Transformation

A complete change in the appearance or character of something or someone, especially so that that thing or person is improved
