Abstract
This article examines the conceptual dissolution of “nature” within contemporary ecological thought, arguing that the ecological crisis is foremost a transformation of the regimes of representation that shaped modernity. Through Latour’s and Serres’s critique of the nature/culture divide, Morton’s analysis of nature as an aesthetic construct of industrial capitalism, and Moore’s reframing of the Anthropocene as Capitalocene, the study reconstructs the emergence of a hybrid ontology of human and non-human actors. Integrating this lineage with McLuhan’s theory of media environments, it contends that the end of nature coincides with the rise of a global medial ecology inaugurated by the visibility of the Earth in the satellite age. The article proposes an ecology of media as the philosophical framework needed to understand the entanglement of life, technique, and representation in the contemporary planetary condition.
