Course contents :
|
| The course aims at examining the representations of nature and environment at different times and in various places and at questioning the investigation tools and the representations of the students themselves.
The main thread will be an "animal" entry. The squirrel, the elephant, the vulture , the beaver, the coypu, the bat, the fox (or other pests)... are considered to be frontier runners or to be linking different worlds, consequently allowing us to follow the natural balance, the exchanges as well as the conflicts, misunderstandings , adjustments, silences, contradictions or ruptures. Those are lines, threads or what G. Deleuze calls "des devenirs" , too, revealing the ambivalent , contradictory and ever changing character of the practices and cultural modes and showing as well
- the possible conflicts linked to them,
- the forms of running of the territory ( some of them may be incompatible),
- the scientific controversies , the emerging points of incertitude,
- the economic and social priorities, intermingled and sometimes contradictory. |
