The new normality or the slowdown of the Anthropocene

Abstract
The present essay seeks to explore to what extent the new normality, linked to a biopolitics of confinement, supposes a global slowdown of the Anthropocene. It is argued that the impact of the new normality is related not to the mere decrease of the modes of development but to the increasing awareness and visibility of multispecies assemblages (including humans). If such awareness is considered in the light of the notion of care and attention for multispecies and their interactions and if such care has allowed us to see beyond the anthropocentric bias with regard to the conservation and restoration of ecosystems, then, it is possible to make use of this care to make visible human groups that are unprotected and in notorious disadvantage in the, so called, new normality.
