A natureza foi silenciada e isso prejudica nossa capacidade de ter uma vida sustentável, defende o pesquisador Tim Ingold

Tim Ingold, antropólogo britânico, fará a palestra "Science and Silence" no próximo dia 01/09, sábado, a partir das 18h, no beijódromo Darcy Ribeiro, durante o encerramento da III Reunião de Antropologia da Ciência e da Tecnologia.

Veja o resumo da palestra

"In this lecture I draw a parallel between the history of science and the history of reading, from medieval to modern times. On the side of the book, medieval practices of reading, which entailed a conversation with the "voices of the pages" that were activated in reading aloud, were replaced " in the wake of the Reformation  "by silent reading, the purpose of which was to extract the literal meaning of a given text. This was facilitated by the introduction of spaces between words, which broke up the letterline into segments and led to a view of the text as an assembly rather than a woven fabric. An equivalent transformation occurred in the rise of early modern science, when figures such as Bacon and Galileo argued that the works of the Creator should be studied for what they are: not (in the medieval manner) as interwoven stories, but as discrete classifiable objects laid out in what was called the "book of nature" a book readable by anyone with the necessary keys to decipher it. From then on, beings of the more-than-human world no longer spoke to people, nor did people listen to what they had to say. Nature was silenced, along with the silencing of the book. This silencing of nature persists to this day, and I argue that it has had fateful consequences for our capacity to live sustainable lives."
