ABSTRACT
This chapter builds on, modifies, and criticizes recent provocative arguments concerning post-political environmental apocalyptic discourses. We develop a notion of contestatory apocalyptics, and provide some examples and differences between rightward and progressive apocalyptic contestations. We then outline some of the key examples of a radical apocalyptics and advocate for the emergence of an emancipatory subject capable of crafting alliances with progressive contestatory movements, allowing for a radicalization of the movement as a whole toward post-capitalist politics and ecologies. We conclude by proposing the eco-precariat as a possible name for this emancipatory subject and provide a radical apoclayptics manifesto for the Anthropocene.
