Meeting (In)Common Heritage. Non-Anthropocentric Perspectives and Legacies for More-Than-Human Futures
It is through a challenging conceptual panorama, in the encounter and within the framework of the more-than-human, that we propose to reflect.
The concept of heritage is problematised from other perspectives that not only detach it from exclusively human, social and cultural legacies and appropriations, past and present, but also force us to think about an idea of a shared future made up of multiple biotic and abiotic connections. It is everyone’s common heritage, albeit with administratively and politically managed territorial and cultural inscriptions, that we are aiming for.
The sky, the atmosphere, the sea, the water, the earth, the soil, the wind, the air, the mountains and the rocks, among many other elements on which we all depend and whose appropriation in patrimonial terms (of possession and ownership) can jeopardise human lives and the ecological balances necessary for the planet’s existence, without their care as common heritage (of everyone, including everyone else and everything else besides humans).
Lab2PT participates in the scientific committee and in the development of this activity, which arises from the intersection of some of IN2PAST’s lines of research.
