BRUNO LATOUR: A POLITICS OF THE EARTH with NOORTJE MARRES
Wed 1 Feb 2023 6:30 PM - 10:30 PM
Vout-O-Reene's, The Crypt, 30 Prescot Street, London, E1 8BB
Description
Sociologist Noortje Marres, who studied under the late Bruno Latour, will explore his work on ecological politics - in particular his vision for a politics of the earth and his call for a new ecological class to seize the political reins and guide us through the polycrisis.
Noortje will also advocate for “ecology” as the best frame through which to re-imagine human society’s relationship with the natural world. And she will chart the rise of a politics of nature as a broad, historical shift in paradigm: one that over the last century has taken the form of a conflict between utopian thinking - the struggle to “burst the existing order” and create a better world - and ideology - which serves to justify the status quo and is no longer in touch with reality.
