Slow Reading Group: Making Peace with the Earth
16th September 2019
19:00 - 21:00 BST
*Please note: due to many people being away during the summer holidays, we won't be meeting in August. Next session will be on Monday 16 September.*
The Three Ecologies Research Group at Nottingham Contemporary is holding a series of free reading sessions. Join us every third Monday of the month at 7pm.
Come along, we are reading together (literally, aloud, and slowly) and discussing contemporary ecology. We read texts and books that encompass social relations and human subjectivity as well as environmental concerns.
After finishing the last two chapters of 'Caliban and the Witch' by Silvia Federici we now move on to 'Making Peace with the Earth' by Vandana Shiva.
Vandana Shiva is known by many as an environmentalist, anti-globalisation campaigner, and a founder of eco-feminism. Although this book isn’t explicitly eco-feminist in content, it is a compelling exposition demolishing the myths propagated by corporate globalisation in its pursuit of profit and power, and shows its devastating environmental impact.
We will have copies of the chapters available on the day.
Free. All welcome. No need to book.
