Etymology: From learn + -ification. Coined by Dutch educational theorist Gert Biesta an article published in a 2009 journal volume.
Senses: examples: text: In the next section I explore why we seem to have lost sight of questions about values, purpose and the goodness of education. I suggest that at least part of the explanation for this has to do with what I will refer to as the 'learnification' of education: the transformation of an educational vocabulary into a language of learning.

text: 'Learnification' appears to reduce teachers to facilitators of learning, competent practitioners or at worst 'deliverers' of the curriculum.

Oliganthropocene
Language: English
Part of speech: name
Etymology: From olig- + Anthropocene, where olig- is understood to connote especially oligopoly and oligarchy. Coined by Belgian geographer Erik Swyngedouw in 2013.
Senses: examples: text: Many are concerned that the quasi-eschatological emphasis on the Anthropocene as epochal, planetary rupture can obscure the driving forces behind the "great acceleration" (basically, Western industrialization and capital, rather than "mankind"), and the fact that not everybody on the planet has had the same role in the story (Malm and Hornborg, 2014; Moore, 2014; Collard et al., 2015; Haraway, 2015). Capitalocene and Oliganthropocene – the variations polemically proposed by Jason Moore and Erik Swyngedouw – epitomize well such concerns.
ref: 2016, Lazaros Karaliotis, Giovanni Bettini, “Urban resilience, the local and the politics of the Anthropocene: reflections on the future of the urban environment”, in Kevin Archer, Kris Bezdecny, editors, Handbook of Cities and the Environment, Edward Elgar, page 67:
text: Having one fewer child would save 58 tons of CO2-equivalents per year, compared to 2.4 tons if one decided to live car free, 0.82 if one decided to live on a plant-based diet and 0.21 if one decided to recycle (Wynes and Nicholas 2017). Of course, these data would be very different for individuals living in poor countries. For this reason Erik Swyngedouw (2013) has proposed substituting the term anthropocene with the term Oliganthropocene, since only a small fraction of humanity is responsible for the most relevant environmental changes.

text: Why not call out capitalism as a culprit by renaming the Anthropocene the Capitalocene? Or call out the one-percenters by renaming it the Oliganthropocene?
