New Fellow arrived: Welcome Aurea Mota!

4 November 2019

Another Fellow will stay with us at our Centre until the end of the year: Aurea Mota from the Universitat de Barcelona. During her time in Hamburg, she will work on a text with the working title "The Ontic Imaginary of Sustainability and the Rights of Nature".

She suggests that we should explore if, besides modernization, transformation and control, there is another ongoing trajectory of sustainability, which is based on what we could call for now an ‘ontic trajectory’. This trajectory refers to the impossibility to keep up the boundaries between the natural and the social.
