Résumé
In recent years the concept of planetarity has seen a meteoric rise amongcritical theorists. But they often leave its exact signi cance opaque or evenactively obscure the meaning of ‘planet’. Can space history unearth a moreaccurate conceptualization by de-metaphorizing planetarity and fostering aspatial understanding of planet Earth instead? In this roundtable, a philosopher,a media theorist, a cultural historian, a historian of technology and a religiousstudies scholar discuss the uses of planetarity in their respective disciplines.They ask what all that planetarity talk is about, if proclaiming a planetary turncan be justified, and whether understanding the transformation of Earth into aplanet over the course of the twentieth century necessitates an extra-terrestrialperspective.
