This article argues that the Anthropocene produces a paradox when thinking about political mobilization. I show how the knowledge production practices that render the Anthropocene visible and actionable, including planetary boundaries, Earth System Science modeling of earth systems, and geological strata, also circulate a security rationality. This rationality is one that attempts to manage, co-opt, or productively direct processes of becoming, which limits possibilities for mobilization. A lens that assumes political mobilization is a function of increased knowledge, understanding, and evidence contributes to this problem. By starting instead with an understanding of possibilities for mobilization as emerging from social relations, the article highlights the way in which the security rationality circulated by Anthropocene knowledge production risks transforming those social relations into security relations. Netting the planet and the human together through the practices of calculation and representation that make the Anthropocene visible produces a decontextualized, disaggregated, and dispersed subject and so limits possibilities for collective political mobilization.

人类世不作为的悖论：知识生产、动员和社会关系的安全化

本文认为，人类世在思考政治动员时产生了一个悖论。我展示了使人类世可见和可操作的知识生产实践，包括行星边界、地球系统的地球系统科学建模和地质地层，也如何传播安全合理性。这种理性试图管理、选择或有效地指导生成过程，这限制了动员的可能性。假设政治动员是增加知识、理解和证据的功能的镜头导致了这个问题。相反，首先要了解从社会关系中产生的动员的可能性，这篇文章强调了人类世知识生产所传播的安全理性如何冒着将这些社会关系转变为安全关系的风险。通过使人类世可见的计算和表征实践将地球和人类联系在一起，产生了一个去语境化、分解和分散的主体，因此限制了集体政治动员的可能性。
