Subject matter
What is the ecological thought? Where do we encounter it in art and philosophy? Philosophy and art forms have something to tell us about the environment, because they can make us question reality. In this course, we explore a striking vision of ecological possibility/actuality in philosophy and art as a way of coexistence, critique and creativity on this damaged planet. We will navigate through eight themes that might embody a new way of thinking and living the ecological thought: 1) dark geographies 2) interpenetration, 3) spirit, 4) body, 5) multispecies storytelling, 6) technology, 7) chaosmos, and 8) slowness. We will analyse and interconnect subversive philosophers of modernity (Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Deleuze) with poets (Joyce, Pessoa, Drummond), musicians (Cage, The Loafing Heroes) and ecofeminists (Bennett, Haraway, Tsing) to wrench ourselves into the middle of life and into the possibility of a new vibrant radical cosmopolitanism. The course will also include guest speakers on the link between ecology and dance, cinema, and art installation-activism.
