Abstract
This course explores how contemporary socio-ecological struggles are not only sites of resistance to extractivism, but also spaces where alternative ways of inhabiting the Earth are actively prefigured. Moving across urban contexts and forest territories, it examines how commons, mobilisations and everyday practices reconfigure relationships between humans and non-humans.
Objective
The course aims to understand the political and social conditions of urban struggles to explore the levers of action available to professionals to support the critical emergence of renewed urban models. Taking the form of a course-seminar, the proposed teaching aims to show the interest of methodologies from the social sciences of the city to develop critical urban and territorial design.
Content
Seminars, methodological teaching sessions and applied exercises.
