05.02.2018 - Workshop: "Thinking through wildness in the Anthropocene"
with Dr. Sara Asu Schroer
In this workshop we'd like to think through notions of wildness in the Anthropocene: how is wildness imagined, realized, and managed today? We'd like to talk about different concepts of wildness, and how they are entangled with societal processes, political agendas, and technological visions and possibilities. While untouched wildness is often an ideal and a goal shaping conservation policies, "wild" nature is simultaneously under strict regimes of control (control of gene-pools and studbooks in wildlife population management) and entangled with scientific interventions (de-extinction projects through genetic engineering). Such paradoxes and surprising entanglements are at the core of what we'd like to discuss.
Termin: Montag, 5.2.2018, 9:30 - 12:00 Uhr
Wo: Geozentrum, Meckenheimer Allee 176, Bonn, Ü7
Diskussionsgrundlage: 2 Texte, werden noch verschickt
