French Natures | New York | 26-27 Oct 2018

FRENCH NATURES : A conference-festival at New York University. October 26-27, 2018

 

Each culture maps its understanding of the physical world (nature, physis) in different ways. This conference-festival  thus asks: what do French and Francophone literature, film, visual art, theater, and philosophy make of our planet? How can they help us understand our world marked by environmental catastrophe?
