and being a main motivation for violent conflicts and occupations. Whether
hunter-gatherers&rsquo\; communities\, the pioneers of the agricultural r
evolution\, or inhabitants of urban and industrial centers\, human culture
s have always relied on stable relationships to earth and its resources an
d have strived to tame changes in these through different means\, includin

and harmed\, which has also led humanity to search for new lands\, or to
imagine alternative earths and lifeforms.\n\nThis conference invites schol
