The course is part of the training activities of the two curricula of the CdS in Environmental Humanities. The course aims to provide appropriate conceptual tools for an updated analysis of the main issues relating to the socio-environmental crisis, with particular reference to the redefinition of what is meant by politics. Within the framework of this path, the teaching aims to provide: 1) knowledge of the main contemporary debates and related approaches in their diversity; 2) the ability in contextualising, analyzing and critical reading of the considered issues; 3) the acquisition of the requested conceptual tools. At the end of the course, the acquisition of the following knowledge and understanding skills is expected: - in-depth knowledge of the principal authors in contemporary political thought; - ability in critical reading of the texts; - ability to discuss the considered issues; - acquisition of the conceptual tools requested for the analysis of contemporary phenomena - oral and written presentation and argumentation skills

From what position do we think and constitute the problems we face? The course explores the different spatial dimensions and related epistemologies present in contemporary philosophical and political analyses.
If the world refers to an abode constituted by human meaning and history, if the globe seems to bring us back to a homogeneous spatial dimension, thinking about politics from the planetary dimension can open an altogether ancient and unprecedented perspective.
