We are witnessing a profound mutation of the world and our relationship with the world. The evidence of the climate catastrophe has made us cross a certain threshold that, In the words of Bruno Latour, It could be stated like this: We have changed the world. This consummated mutation is taken to the extreme by the public irruption of generative artificial intelligence and by the geopolitical seizures that threaten democracies. Talk then about “worlds to come” It is a way of appealing, From the margins of the University itself, to the plurality of possible worlds beyond technological totalitarianism and the devastating global situation. Our gaze is set in the future of the worlds, But the necessary action to compose them rootes in the present. From an epistemic and ontological pluralism we appeal to that "to come" here and now: We need to find tools to think about our present situation and to glimpse possible lines of action, of transformation and resistance. As Donna Haraway would say, “Anthropocene does not have to be the end of the worlds to come; It is a limit, Not a destination”.
