Entrevista concedida de Montréal (Canadá) para os professores Andrew Goodman (LaTrobe University) e Tessa Laird (University of Melbourne) no contexto do curso "Environmental Humanities - Global Environments" (LaTrobe University, Bendigo - Austrália) acerca do trabalho junto ao projeto "Restauro: escultura ambiental" de Jorgge Menna Barreto, nossa colaboração na coordenação de seu setor Educativo durante a 32a Bienal de São Paulo (2016), assim como acerca do trabalho que o atelier vem fazendo ao redor da temática da alimentação a partir de uma perspectiva processual, esquizoanalítica e multinatural, e de suas conexões com outras saúdes, fomes, apetites e mundos possíveis. Ementa: This subject introduces you to key ideas within the Environmental Humanities. You will begin with the Anthropocene -the era in which humans have become a geological force. You will look at the relationship between nature and culture and their representation through processes that embed understandings of power and control. You then apply these ideas to four different case studies that focus on the themes of earth, wind, water and fire. You will consider the extraction of resources and people in Central and South America, including the Amazon, and look at the power of the monsoon in Asia: what does it mean for the region and the planet that half the world's population depends on the rains these winds bring? You will study the rising seas of the Pacific and the region's history of colonialization and decolonisation. Finally, you will look at Australian Aboriginal use of fire in land management, and consider the legacy of Black Saturday and the entanglement between humans and nature in that conflagration. This subject addresses La Trobe's Global Citizenship Essential.
