Content
This course offers an in-depth analysis of the anthropological changes revealed by the current socio-ecological crises. Based on the observation that degrowth has become an unavoidable necessity to ensure our survival, it is essential to develop a different economy, a different lifestyle, a different civilisation, and different social relationships.
Drawing on ethnographic studies and theoretical approaches, this course explores the combination of two approaches: political anthropology (which politicises socio-ecological issues by analysing socio-economic structures) and the anthropology of imaginaries (which considers the opening up of imaginaries and ontological changes as potential levers for ecological action). Students will be encouraged to take a critical look at the ways in which contemporary earthlings are attached to the earth, as well as at ambivalent behaviours that oscillate between individualism and creative altruism.
