Environmental History V

The symposium Environmental History investigates the interactions between humans and the “natural world,” focusing on how non-human entities and multispecies ecologies can transform the understanding of agency in historical and contemporary narratives.

For its fifth edition, the symposium will interrogate the relationship between myth-making and historiography, through the concept of “Mythological Machines”. Speakers will include: Norman Ajari, Julien d’Huy, Wilfried N’Sondé, Josèfa Ntjam, Verena Paravel, Naomi Rincón-Gallardo and many others.
