Denaturalising the Concept of Territory in International Law
Join us for a conversation with Jeanne Féaux de la Croix from the University of Bern who is currently a visiting fellow at TIK in the Anthropogenic Soils project. We will discuss what transferable lessons on cultivating livability can we take from our own empirical evidence and theorizing, e.g. on soil remediation and air pollution activism? This talk connects the Anthropogenic Soils fund of knowledge to insights from my ethnographic, arts-based and transdisciplinary research in Central Asia. It explores the use of understanding soils in forming more-than-academic life and labour, less vulnerable to despair.
"Civilized Barbarians and Other Paradoxes of State-Centered Thinking"

"The EAT-Lancet Planetary diet, and the governance of the global food system"
This interdisciplinary PhD course introduces participants to the environmental humanities of soils. Soil demands a transdisciplinary approach and, as a matter of nature-culture in the Anthropocene, has become a key interest to the humanities. As a group of scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds – archaeology, art history, arts, biology, design, environmental humanities, philosophy, social anthropology, STS – we will organize this place-based PhD course to find different ways of approaching human-soil relations in the Arctic.
Eco-Emotions participants are welcome to join a guided tour in the exhibition 'Trembling Earth' at the Munch Museum.
In this talk, Graeme Macdonald, Professor of English and Comparative Literary Studies (University of Warwick, UK), discusses how aesthetic signatures around the (in)visibility of oil apply to the aesthetics of contemporary energy transition and its representation in sound, screen and image. He explores these themes in two short films: Stephen Hurrel’s 2012 “Dead Reckoning” and Emily Richardson’s 2005 “Petrolia”.
