Speaker
Pietro Daniel Omodeo
Description
In my talk, I will illustrate a concept that is freely inspired by Jürgen’s recent book on the Evolution of Knowledge. I will take examples from the long-durèe history of Venice, in order to argue for the fruitfulness of a historical inquiry into the geo-anthropological nexus which puts material human agency at the center. In my presentation, I will privilege early modernity as a time of historical transition to the techno-scientific societies of the Anthropocene.
