In this bold work Chakrabarty invites us to see ourselves from two perspectives at once: the (human-centred) global and the (human-decentred) planetary. The consequence of doing so, which Chakrabarty explores in this work, forces us to reconsider everything from the nature of human agency to literature to humanism itself. As the geological intrudes upon social life, we must take stock and rethink our way forward.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/projects.history.qmul.ac.uk\/southasia\/2021\/09\/30\/qmihss_dipesh_chakrabarty\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-924\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.history.qmul.ac.uk\/southasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2021\/09\/https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_145412431_418390840241_1_original.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.history.qmul.ac.uk\/southasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2021\/09\/https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_145412431_418390840241_1_original.jpg 800w, https:\/\/projects.history.qmul.ac.uk\/southasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2021\/09\/https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_145412431_418390840241_1_original-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projects.history.qmul.ac.uk\/southasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2021\/09\/https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_145412431_418390840241_1_original-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On 29 September, 2021, the QM Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences welcomed Professor Dipesh Chakrabarty (Chicago) for a discussion of his new book, <a href=\"https:\/\/press.uchicago.edu\/ucp\/books\/book\/chicago\/C\/bo8642262.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>The Climate of History in a Planetary Age<\/em><\/a>.
