Kurzbeschreibung: Planetary life is now in a ‘critical condition’ – an emergency that encompasses the biophysical environment as much as the cultural and social foundations of human knowledge and practice. The challenge of the global ecological crisis, or life in the Anthropocene, calls for an expanded vision of the human-environment relationship. Seeking collaboration beyond the academy and disciplinary boundaries, this symposium brings together philosophers, historians, anthropologists, biologists, artists and poets whose work critically and creatively engages with the systems of representation and the institutional structures through which contemporary societies understand life and its limits.
