Dat geldt trouwens niet alleen voor de omgeving, en zelfs niet alleen voor de aarde: er zijn al plannen om de maan en zelfs kometen te koloniseren. Kunnen we dit anders doen? Misschien moeten we beginnen bij de verhalen die we vertellen en hoe we ze vertellen. Taal vormt ons begrip en ervaring van onze omgeving – zoals Robin Wall Kimmerer laat zien in de internationale bestseller ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’, waarin ze pleit voor de revitalisering van inheemse talen die een meer wederkerige relatie met de omgeving uitdrukken.
Explore SG’s and the TUD Library’s related events this quarter on the theme: Language x Power
The stories we tell construct our reality, shaping our minds and the way we see the world, ourselves, and each other. But who wrote these stories, and to what end? Are we telling ourselves tales to liberate or dominate, to hope or despair? Can we tell those stories differently? And if so, what would we change?
