WATERSCAPES | Rethinking Wetlands. Towards a Wetland Anthropology

10 March 2026 h. 16:00 
Aula A, Ca' Bottacin, Venice

Abstract: 

Wetlands are the most threatened environments on Earth. In the last 40 years the remaining Mediterranean wetlands have halved, with their degradation and loss expected to continue, exacerbated by subsidence, coastal erosion, deterioration of water quality, and overexploitation of groundwater resources. Scholars who work in and with wetlands experience this loss firsthand, encountering practices and ways of life that are vanishing or persisting at the margins of hegemonic social and economic orders.
This talk presents the genealogy of the ReWet project and introduces the theoretical framework taking shape to study socioecological and multispecies relations in places characterized by loss, crisis, and contested futures.
