The author of Ideas to Postpone the End of the World and A Vida Não Útil (Life is Not Useful), here Krenak offers a trenchant critique of the extent to which an understanding of the earth as a resource to be exploited has taken hold in the wake of globalization, as well as how the logic of consumption is enabled by the “cognitive abyss”—our inability to listen and to see what is happening to the world.
This event was in Portuguese and interpreted to English.
Organized by the Institute for Religion, Culture and Public Life and cosponsored by the Center for the Study of Social Difference and the Institute of Latin American Studies.
