Event Description

In many parts of the world, the use of land depends on a host of non-human entities endowed with an autonomous agency with whom humans must negotiate – deities, spirits, genies, ancestors, mountains, animals, meteors. The political relationship to the land differs from what we are familiar with in the Western world, either because non-humans are social agents within an encompassing collective, or because they are seen as subjects acting within their own collectives. These examples are worth considering for a less destructive and less anthropocentric approach to the Earth.
