Border Realities: Beyond Nature and Culture
Anthropogenic climate change and its consequences have eroded the Western paradigm of separating humans from Nature and Nature from Culture. In this context, it becomes imperative to reconsider the interdependencies between humans and the living world. The lecture series will examine how the dissolution of the grand divide between nature and culture, alongside with questioning anthropocentrism in the humanities and social sciences, unveils new perspectives for studying borders and bordering as a natural-cultural phenomena.
The 2024/2025 edition of “Border Realities” is organized and chaired by Lola Aubry (UniGR-CBS, University of Luxembourg) and Anne-Laure Amilhat Szary (Pacte, CNRS, Université Grenoble Alpes). The series “Border Realities” are open to the public and is aimed at researchers, students, and the interested public.
