The idea of the ‘rights of nature’ brings together notions of how humans and nature interrelate and of how to operationalise these relations within institutions and state structures. This Panel Discussion engages provocative sociopolitical and cultural elements, including what happens when forests are granted rights, ranging from posthuman Constitutionalism, legal personhood, indigenous rights and law, activism and engaged research, and environmental peace. The discussion will focus on cases in Latin America and their potential application in Germany.
The seminar will be held in a hybrid format. You are welcome to attend in person at Poststraße 26, 1st Floor, 53111 Bonn, or to join virtually via Zoom.
