Climate issues have been the main topic of discussions about the future of cities, but they are certainly not new. The warning about human irreversibility on the planet has been part of scientific discourse since the 1980s. Faced with increasingly frequent environmental urgencies, Donna Haraway, in her book Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene, suggests a change in attitude on the part of humans to ensure not only partial environmental recovery but the species' survival.
The author uses the term Chthulucene to advocate not only a new era but a posture that involves what she calls tentacular thinking and sympoiesis - the synchronic construction of reality. The word cthulhu comes from the Greek khthonios, which means "coming from the earth" and, for Haraway, opens up both to imagination and to study that allows for understanding the world.
