DESCRIPTION:Frédérique Aït-Touati\nUrban and Environmental Theory Sessi
 on #2 \nFrédérique Aït-Touati\n\nMapping a new Earth: cartographic and 
 architectural tools of exploration\n \n\nWe are living through a time tha
 t in many ways recalls the period of the cosmological revolution: today\, 
 as well\, our conception of the Earth is undergoing a radical shift. We un
 derstand\, thanks to contemporary biology and anthropology in particular\,
  that the space we inhabit is not an 'environment'\, an inert container\, 
 but that it is on the contrary constantly produced by various forms of lif
 e. We also understand\, and this realisation is more tragic\, that our rel
 ationship to the Earth as an unlimited resource is not sustainable\, that 
 we live “on a damaged Planet”\, in the words of Anna Tsing. These prof
 ound transformations in the way we conceive our relationship with the Eart
 h have considerable philosophical\, political and economic consequences. Y
 et we lack the images to think about them. The projects which I will shar
 e participate in this collective endeavor to re-describe the world\, to ma
 p its new borders and territories. \n \n\nFrédérique Aït-Touati is a 
 theatre director and historian of science at the National Center for Scien
 tific Research (CNRS) in Paris. Her research focuses on the relationship b
 etween science and art\, and the aesthetics of the Anthropocene. She has p
 ublished Contes de la Lune\, Gallimard (translated as Fictions of the Cosm
 os\, Chicago University Press)\, Terra Forma (MIT Press)\, and recently Th
 e Terrestrial Trilogy\, co-authored with Bruno Latour. Lecturer at the Uni
 versity of Oxford from 2007 to 2014\, she now teaches at EHESS and is the 
 scientific director of the Master in Political Arts-SPEAP.\n\nImage (from)
