| Sumario: | The Anthropocene demands a reconsideration of the role of human agency in the geological and climatic transformation of the planet. The primary mechanism through which we have impacted the planet has been the production and use of energy. However, energy is also crucial for human well-being in various forms. Considering the need to observe this tension at a local scale, this work analyzes, from a constructivist anthropological standpoint, two case studies of Chilean islands: Robinson Crusoe Island (Juan Fernández) and Llingua Island (Chiloé). From these islands, the relevance of local adaptation capacities is problematized, based on the concept of resilience. The main conditions that have hindered energy adaptation on these islands are discussed, and a brief discussion is proposed on the place of human agency in addressing the question of climate adaptation in the Anthropocene. |
