Description

In this talk, Harlan Morehouse takes a critical look at conventional approaches to the environment in order to suggest that it is the idea of the environment in abstraction that marks a disastrous and catastrophic relationship to the world. Following this, he draws from ethnographic research conducted in rural Vermont to discuss how alternative political practices and oppositional forms of community might be adequate to meet the challenges of a reworked conception of this world.
