Ecological Awakening
When:
—
Venue:
Birkbeck Clore Management Centre
Author Richard Seymour and poet and prose writer Rebecca Tamás consider how we can reckon with, and truly confront, the ecological crisis that we are already living in. In-person.
How can we reckon with, and truly confront, the ecological crisis we are already living in? Richard Seymour, author of The Disenchanted Earth (Indigo Press, 2022), applies his critical, political, and psychoanalytic acumen to climate collapse, just as he did to digital life in The Twittering Machine (Indigo Press, 2019). In her work, Rebecca Tamás, poet and prose writer, author of WITCH (Penned in the Margins, 2019) and Strangers: Essays on the Human and Non-Human (Makina, 2020), explores climate grief, connecting to the non-human world and intimacy with difference. Join these incisive contemporary writers to reflect on these crucial questions of our time.
