Composing the worlds

Warming up to Philippe Descola’s conference, Culturgest shows Composer les Mondes (‘composing the worlds’) a film written, shot and directed by Eliza Levy. Her subject is Descola himself, and the thinking that made him a noteworthy anthropologist. Which should be our starting point to rethink the world with an aim of changing it? Descola devoted his life in anthropology to the study of how human beings form their worlds. He began his investigation in the Amazon region, and then he focused his attention on Europe, seeking to understand how us from the modern world managed to turn the Earth increasingly less habitable.
