Relatifs: Politics of Cohabitability

Ecological Grand Narratives with More-than-Human Worlds.

The philosopher Iwona Janicka explores how stories of different scales guide our philosophical reflection on climate change. Small-scale stories are important to think about our everyday circumstances. Yet they often struggle to articulate big questions like: How to enact collective political action to create a life-affirming future on our planet? Janicka's talk demonstrates how ecofeminism allows us to rethink our position of being human on the planet and conceive of a more-than-human cohabitability on the grandest scale.
