Vortrag und Gespräch zu “A global ecology of care” (DFH-Festival)
mit Dr. Farhan Samanani (King’s College London)
Ort: VHS Bielefeld, Murnau Saal
Hinweis: Dieser Vortrag wird in englischer Sprache gehalten.
Across Europe, a majority of citizens believe that addressing climate change is an urgent priority. Yet citizens often do not feel equipped to act, while holding little faith in policymakers. When citizens do identify actions they can take, these often differ from the solutions championed by climate activists or experts. Meanwhile, attempts to pursue sustainability have been criticized as self-serving and self-defeating, as governments continue to prioritize economic growth and citizens remain attached to consumption and familiar lifestyles. The resulting mix of knowledge and uncertainty, hope and frustration, action and setbacks can compound the situation, leading to paralysis, deadlock or simply a tacit prolonging of the status-quo.
Across the history of the environmental movement, there have been various attempts to position local communities as the center of action or resilience. Often, these attempts were supported by a romantic vision of community. In practice, however, creating and sustaining community can be very difficult. This talk draws on ethnographic research carried out with local climate activists, concerned citizens and experimental energy communities, to argue that perhaps this difficulty is precisely what is needed. It explores the labour involved in connecting with unfamiliar others, finding common ground, and identifying ways of acting together as a messy practice of care, and it argues that care may be precisely what is needed in order to navigate the complexities and urgencies of the climate crisis. Fundamentally, care looks inwards, providing sustained attention and energy towards a small number of others or to a particular place. Yet, as practices of care develop alongside one another, what emerges is an ecology of understanding and action — irreducible to a single perspective or set of priorities, but operating in complex interdependence.
Die Veranstaltung ist Teil des Festivals „Denken.Fühlen.Handeln – Ein Zukunftsfestival für planetarische Gerechtigkeit“, das von der AG 10 „Migrationspädagogik und Rassismuskritik“ an der Fakultät für Erziehungswissenschaft der Universität Bielefeld und dem Welthaus Bielefeld e.V. in Kooperation mit vielen weiteren Akteur*innen organisiert wird.
