Presentazione di "Environmental Alterities" con Tone Walford

Aula Baratto, Ca' Foscari, Dorsoduro 3246

February 13th, 5.00 pm

Tone Walford (University College London, UCL)

presents Environmental Alterities (Mattering Press 2021), edited together with Christobal Bonelli (University of Amsterdam)

Drawing together scholarship from across science and technology studies, philosophy, and anthropology and bringing it into conversation with rich ethnographic and empirical material, the book asks how we might potentialise the contradictions and oppositions of critical social scientific thinking in order to develop a mode of paradoxical engagement that is in constant movement between knowledge and its edges, practices and their limits, and which allows us to relate to that which is excessive to relations and relationality.

Tone Walford is a lecturer in Digital Anthropology at UCL. Their work explores the effects of the exponential growth of digital data and algorithms on social and cultural imaginaries and practices, centring on the data infrastructures of climate science, and with an ethnographic focus on Brazil. They have published in journals such as Social Analysis, Cultural Anthropology, and Environmental Humanities, and recently co-edited (with Nick Seaver and Rachel Douglas-Jones) a special issue with JRAI on the Anthropology of Data.

This event is organised in collaboration with the HealthXCross Project, P.I. Roberta Raffaetà, 'GA n. 949742 ERC-HealthXCross'
