Event overview
Intersections between the ecological and the legal are pursued through case studies from Susan Schuppli's new book Material Witness.
Susan Schuppli, Wood Roberdeau and Shela Sheikh explore key issues in Susan’s new book, Material Witness (MIT Press, 2020), in which intersections between the ecological and the legal are pursued in a number of case studies.
This lecture is associated with our “Environmental Humanities and Ecologies” research cluster. In this cluster we explore diverse artistic practices and interventions that address unavoidable questions concerning environmental crises and ecological sustainability, human and non-human geographies, ‘the animal question’, and sociologies of everyday life. These themes are approached from an interdisciplinary view of the arts and sciences. Our wide and rapidly growing field within the humanities and post-humanities has allowed us to explore and rethink accepted cartographies, technological investments in environmental ethics and awareness, the legality and politics of the lived environment, the nature/culture dialectic within art history and, fundamentally, the categories of globalisation and climate injustice following the Anthropocene and Plantationocene.
