PhD seminar in Stockholm on “Emancipation in an Urban Century: From more-than-human political moments to the figure of the Anthropo-ob(S)bene

This seminar gathers literature that grapples with what agency and emancipation could mean in an intensely more-than-human and rapidly urbanizing world. Departing broadly from the field of urban political ecology, the seminar interrogates two central, but tension-filled concepts: ‘the anthropocene’ and ‘the more-than-human’ to get a better handle of what emancipation might mean in our urban century.
