  The Legacies of Ursula K. Le Guin: Science, Fiction and Ethics for the Anthropocene

  Planetary ethics and aesthetics, interspecies communities, post-gender and anarchist societies, indigenous knowledge, vegetal sentience... The paths Ursula K. Le Guin has opened for our imagination to travel are numerous, subtle itineraries through which we might find ways to better inhabit the XXI^st century. The international bilingual conference "Le Guin's Legacies" will engage with her work from a multiplicity of perspectives, tracing its literary, ecological, philosophical, socio-economical and anthropological ramifications: its potential for re-engineering the world we live in.

  The circulation and renewal of knowledge about nature and the environment in France and Germany

  Ce colloque propose une réflexion comparée sur la construction et la diffusion des savoirs sur la nature et l’environnement, en France et en Allemagne, afin d’interroger l’émergence et le succès du champ d’études des humanités environnementales. À travers une mise en regard épistémologique et pluridisciplinaire – associant les lettres et les sciences sociales –, il s’agit de se demander pourquoi l’on vient à parler d’humanités environnementales, dans quels contextes, à propos de quels objets et quels modes d’analyse, et ce alors même que l’énoncé n’est pas complètement stabilisé. Questionner la construction de ce champ dans les contextes nationaux français et allemand est riche de sens, d’autant que l’on sait les deux « traditions nationales » des rapports à la nature souvent présentées comme clivées (schématiquement, la filiation des Lumières en France, celle du romantisme en Allemagne), alors que les processus historiques ont été plus complexes.
