Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Imperial Modes of Living are deeply entrenched in Europe. The development towards social and ecological responsibility, which is necessary from a global perspective, touches upon many interwoven levels: economic system, social institutions, law, everyday practices and cultural orientations.“Circular economy” and “ZeroWaste” are two concepts negotiating possible new practices is that respect: in areas ranging from the new EU Action Plan to business models and modes of production, to personal lifestlyes. What do these conepts entail? Which actors and strategies have the potential of really contributing to a social-ecological transformation?We’ll study the various aspects of circular economy and ZeroWaste in this seminar. Students will get detailed tasks and materials online each week, and be grouped in teams of 3 throughout the term, so as to have more of a personal support structure. Ongoing tasks during term will take about 6 hours of work each week. In addition, a written paper of at least 40.000 characters will have to be produced at the end of the seminar.
