«The War of Landscapes». Heiner Müller, Poet in the Anthropocene The article reconstructs Heiner Müller’s poetic journey from an initial phase in which he recovers the aesthetic enjoyment of nature from a Marxist perspective to a second phase in which he shifts to a “writing of the Anthropocene”, marked by issues that would later be central to the thought of Timothy Morton and New Materialism. The experience of a nature that resists human assimilation is a crucial aspect, revealing a futurist dimension that defies predictability and exposes a disquieting utopian potential. An eco-Marxist stance emerges, in which the recognition of an agency to the non-human and an equal ontological dignity to all entities of nature, both living and non-living, are intricately connected to the political desire to overcome the state of war engendered by capitalism.

Abstract
«The War of Landscapes». Heiner Müller, Poet in the Anthropocene The article reconstructs Heiner Müller’s poetic journey from an initial phase in which he recovers the aesthetic enjoyment of nature from a Marxist perspective to a second phase in which he shifts to a “writing of the Anthropocene”, marked by issues that would later be central to the thought of Timothy Morton and New Materialism. The experience of a nature that resists human assimilation is a crucial aspect, revealing a futurist dimension that defies predictability and exposes a disquieting utopian potential. An eco-Marxist stance emerges, in which the recognition of an agency to the non-human and an equal ontological dignity to all entities of nature, both living and non-living, are intricately connected to the political desire to overcome the state of war engendered by capitalism.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
