LUCA : Lecture “On the Ecological Class Struggle - The Role of Affects, Art, and Aesthetics” – 06/07/2023 at 18h30
How come we are constantly bombarded with information about the unfolding climatic catastrophe, but ecological mobilization is so limited? How come so many agree that climate change is the most relevant problem of our times, but Green parties around Europe all struggle to get over the electoral threshold?
In this presentation, Danish sociologist Nikolaj Schultz suggests that one way to understand that the political passions in no way are on par with the impending disaster, is that the ecologists have failed to engage seriously in the cultural struggle for ideas; a struggle that one cannot neglect when trying to accumulate political affects and mobilize people for action.
