Research project pursued at the CEE
The research objective is twofold:
- Environmental history: critically engage with the environmental roots of political theory and ideas to better understand far-right ecologies today.
- The crisis of liberal subjectivity and its alternatives: the climate crisis spells the collapse of the liberal, autonomous subject. It opens for new understandings of of porous, entangled and situated subjectivity to ground a more-than-human democracy. The rejection of the autonomous subject is, however, shared with far-right actors who entertain an entirely different vision for politics in the Anthropocene. What are the political tensions related subjectivity today – and how do we address them democratically?
