Contracts with Nature 1 - Michel Serres - The Natural Contract
1Description
These podcasts are some the material given to students taking the module Contracts with Nature, which is part of the MA in the Philosophy of Nature, Information and Technology at Staffordshire University. The MA is delivered by online learning and you can find more information about it here https://bit.ly/3htZNDt or by contacting me directly at d.a.webb@staffs.ac.uk.
The podcasts are not general introductions to the work of Serres but rather reproduce notes intended specifically to support the reading we're doing. On the module as a whole, we'll spend four weeks reading The Natural Contract, followed by four weeks on selected passages from The Birth of Physics, Biogea, The Incandescent, and Branches. Then we'll read Serenella Iovino on écocritique and work by Vicki Kirby and Karen Barad, before ending with two weeks on Bruno Latour. The episodes in this podcast were first available in 2022 and they'll be updated as I go along this year, some more than others.
