Call for Papers: Narratives for Ecological and Sustainable Transition(s):
What is the primary focus of our conference?
The conference centers around the concept of ‘nesting’ conceived of along two main ways:
a) in its metaphorical sense, as illustrating the ethical framework for applied approaches to narratives for maturing a sense of care for human and nonhuman vulnerabilities, and to build a more sustainable, inclusive, intergenerational, and post-anthropocentric (Braidotti 2019) sense of home as ‘oikos’ for different forms of life ;
b) in a more descriptive sense, understood as “arranging one object or entity within one another” (OED, 2024), ‘nesting’ points to the idea of narratives put in contexts, especially along embodied and embedded educational experiencing – broadly defined to include both institutional and non-institutional settings across various educational levels (with particular focus on local communities and civil society).
