FaVU-AIS-ZAcad. year: 2018/2019
The course will look into the texts below through a detailed analysis and discussions; the selected texts, ranging from the disciplines of contemporary philosophy (Latour, Haraway, Bradiotti), antropology, cultural studies (Tsing), botanics (Sádlo, Pokorný), etc, reflect the state of Anthropocene, the fix in which "humankind" has found itself (in)voluntarily (?). We will problematize the equal share of "humankind" on Anthropocene, we will look at texts which not only ask the classical question What Is To Be Done, but also "what to say"? (to whom). We will compensate the highly theoretical texts offering a trully global/comprehensive insight into the reflection of the sorry state of the world by reading about and watching plants in forrests, steppes, and meadows in order to understand how these (and their biodiversity) were formed in the past by human labor so that we can better understand what can be saved (through that labor? or its simulation?) for the future. Or not.
