Segnaliamo una call for papers per il primo SuMu Symposium “Human-Environment Relationality”, patrocinato dalla Univesity of Lapland (Rovaniemi, Finlandia), in programma dal 23-25 settembre 2025.
In recent years, scholars from the fields of anthropology, arts, environmental humanities, environmental science studies, feminist theory, organisational studies, sociology and tourism studies have challenged the ontological divide between nature and culture, human and non-human by emphasising human-environment relationality as a mode of being-in-the-world. Indigenous and Sámi studies are paradigmatically based on relational understanding of the world: humans and other beings inhabit the world through their inter-connectedness with each other and act upon their mutual responsibilities. It is also increasingly acknowledged that relational perspectives in social theory are enormously indebted to Indigenous ontologies in which the environment (other species, plants, land, air, and water as holistic entities) is indivisible from social worlds.
Deadline: 23 aprile 2025
