Alternative to Crisis - Indigenous perspectives of the end of the world
Anthropologist Dr Rosalyn Bold presents research from her recent anthology 'Indigenous Perspectives At The End of The World'. Dr Bold explains the general principles of these perspectives and unpicks the alternative relations with and status of creator and landscape spirits presented within these cultures. Respect for the unseen spirits articulates sustainable environmental relations governed by principles of asking before we take and taking respectfully. Together in conversation with multiple-award winning documentary filmmaker Sara Penrhyn Jones they will discuss philosophical alternatives to challenge the varying degrees of the impact of extractivism, consequences of climate change, and resulting breakdown of social relations. @bathspauni
