The experience of the environment through a soundwalk, the role of ecological questions in arts and literature, indigenous knowledge in the face of environmental changes…
Global ecological and climate debates are often grounded on scientific data.
At the same time, sociocultural and political factors also play an important role in how we perceive and interact with the environment.
Conversely, environmental thinking has also had a profound impact on communities in the broadest sense.
Various research projects in humanities and cultural studies at the Faculty of Humanities address environmental themes from a variety of perspectives.
How are the positive and threatening environmental experiences reflected in global arts and religious practices?
How can alternative knowledge systems be foregrounded more strongly, e.g. from postcolonial and gender-related perspectives, including not only indigenous perspectives, but also those of other-than-humans?
Which historical environmental knowledge has been preserved in the arts from a global perspective?
How can this academic knowledge inform coping strategies?
