The Nurkse Reading Seminar in April tackles the discussions around (Im)materiality. Our guest speaker is Andreas Roos, Research at Human Ecology, in the Department of Human Geography, Lund University, Sweden.
For this matter, we will discuss a paper by Andreas Roos (2021), “Earthing philosophy of technology: A case for ontological materialism”, in Pasi Heikkurinen & Toni Ruuska (eds.), Sustainability beyond Technology, Oxford University Press, 59-95.
This session discusses the place of technology in discourses on ecology and the current state of the planet. The author argues that our understandings of technology and the biosphere convey different assumptions of the world and offers a framework to overcome this discrepancy.
