URBAN NATURE - Episode 8: Eduardo Góes Neves and Gabriel Kozlowski

URBAN NATURE - Episode 8: Eduardo Góes Neves and Gabriel Kozlowski

In this episode of Urban Nature, Eduardo Góes Neves and Gabriel Kozlowski discuss how archaeology can be a means to understand change in human–natural systems over long timescales. Neves elaborates on the connection between ancient Amazonian societies with large-scale transformations of the natural environment. He emphasizes that what see as pristine forests are, most of the times, anthropic landscapes and, therefore, new attention should be given to the historical human factor in forest settings, which has the power to offer us alternatives models for the development of tropical societies.

URBAN NATURE - Episode 5: Jason W. Moore and Gabriel Kozlowski

In this episode of Urban Nature, Jason W. Moore and Gabriel Kozlowski discuss the concepts of nature, capitalism, and the web of life from the perspective of social construction, relations of power, and Modernity’s dualism. Moore argues that one of the most fundamental problems of Western civilization, both intellectually and politically, is the splitting between society and nature; that this binary is a form of violence that generates conditions of inequality and oppression while maintaining the hegemonic structures intact.

URBAN NATURE - Episode 4: Stuart Elden and Gabriel Kozlowski

In this episode of URBAN NATURE, Professor of Political Theory and Geography at the University of Warwick Stuart Elden and Gabriel Kozlowski talk about the intersections between people, place, and power, in relation to concepts such as territory, understood as a political technology, and terrain, as the physical materiality of territory. The discussion touches on Lefebvre’s formulations on the rural, Foucault’s notion of milieu, and ideas around a Politics of the Earth.

“It's very easy to think that in the past the world was organized in a similar way it is today, except that the borders were different places and that there were different regimes within them.”  – Stuart Elden, Professor of Political Theory and Geography at University of Warwick

A '74PODCAST Series, URBAN NATURE is hosted by Gabriel Kozlowski, Brazilian architect and curator working on urbanization from the perspective of political ecology. The Series presents guests from a diverse set of disciplines—including Anthropology, Biology, Philosophy, Political Science, Political Theory, Geography, Architecture, and the Arts, among others—that have been reflecting on the relationship between humans and nature.

URBAN NATURE - Episode 3: Susanna Hecht and Gabriel Kozlowski

URBAN NATURE - Episode 3: Susanna Hecht and Gabriel Kozlowski

In this episode of URBAN NATURE, Geographer and Professor of Urban Planning at UCLA Susanna Hecht and Gabriel Kozlowski discuss the Amazon region through the lenses of political ecology. Hecht offers a panorama of the major transformations the region went through over the last century from both a local and global perspective. In the process, she emphasizes the need to break with the idea of the Amazon as a frontier, as well as with the intellectual divide between nature and culture. 

In the third episode, our guest is Susanna Hecht. Professor Hecht is a specialist on tropical development in Latin America, especially the Amazon Basin and Central America. Her research focuses on the political economies of development ranging from corporate frontiers of cattle and export commodity agriculture (like soy, and oil palm) to populist land occupation. She also studies their comparative environmental and social impacts. She also explores alternatives to destructive development and analyzes the forms of conservation in inhabited landscapes whether through indigenous technologies, non-timber extractive products, niche markets as well as new tenurial forms (such as extractive reserves), social movements and globalization, including the role of remittances and migratory networks in reshaping rural land uses. The impacts of emerging green markets and greenhouse gas offsets for smaller-scale farmers also form part of her research concerns.

As one of the founders of the analytic approach known as Political Ecology, Dr Hecht has been engaged in understanding the theoretical and institutional dynamics that underpin deforestation and its alternatives. 

“That ideology of frontier is the ideology of conquest, and it doesn't reflect reality. It's a discursive way of creating a boundary. So what it does is that the frontier basically says there's no real civilization. On the other side of this. We are the civilization, and we'll just come to the frontier. We'll change the way it integrates into the world through our systems.” —Susanna Hecht, Geographer, Professor of Urban Planning at UCLA

URBAN NATURE - Episode 2: Verena Conley and Gabriel Kozlowski

URBAN NATURE - Episode 2: Verena Conley and Gabriel Kozlowski

In this episode of URBAN NATURE, cultural and critical theorist Verena Conley and Gabriel Kozlowski talk about ecology in the context of culture and philosophy while discussing its connection to care ethics, feminism, and materialism. Conley argues that our survival depends on realizing a more direct connection with animals, plants and other life forms that share the same ecosystems with us.

On the second episode, our guest is Verena Andermatt Conley. Verena is a cultural and critical theorist who has been teaching at Harvard since 1996 in Comparative Literature, and Romance Languages and Literature. She writes on current dilemmas in the natural and urban environments and her publications include among many Ecopolitics: The Environment in Poststructuralist Theory (1997), Spatial Ecologies: Urban Sites, State and World-Space in French Cultural Theory (2012) and Rethinking Technologies (1993-1997). She also has just finished On Care: A Plea for Etho-Ecology (2022). Verena is an affiliate of the Harvard University Committee for the Environment and an associate of the Harvard Urban Mellon Initiative. 

"We have to do some rethinking of matter not as dead as it was assumed to be, but matter that is everywhere. Explore the liveliness of matter and see how the implications are, how the relationship is between humans and nature, animal, plants and the environment. Explore a way of a new alliance and rethink these boundaries." -Verena Conley

URBAN NATURE - Episode 1: Emanuele Coccia and Gabriel Kozlowski

In this episode of URBAN NATURE, Emanuele Coccia and Gabriel Kozlowski talk about the relationship of ecology with economy and politics, both in history and in the present. Coccia argues that we call natural environment is a form of artifact, artificially produced by living beings, and that the solution to our future is a spatial one, as a form of new modes of cohabitation between species.

Welcome to the first episode of URBAN NATURE, hosted by Gabriel Kozlowski, Brazilian architect and curator working on urbanization from the perspective of political ecology. The Series presents guests from a diverse set of disciplines—including Anthropology, Biology, Philosophy, Political Science, Political Theory, Geography, Architecture, the Arts, among others—that have been reflecting on the relationship between humans and nature.

The first guest to inaugurate the series is Emanuele Coccia, a philosopher with interest spanning from ecology to arts and fashion. Coccia has a background in agricultural sciences. When he first got exposed to botany, chemistry and biology, the influence of which becomes evident in some of his philosophical works is he's the author of The Life of Plants: A Metaphysics of Mixture (2018) and Metamorphosis (2021). He is currently working on a book on the history of ecology.

"We forget that ecology and economy are twin sisters. In the sense that they are sciences that share the same name—remember: ecology starts as "economy of nature"—, they share the same concepts, the same epistemological frameworks, and the same metaphors. (…) for instance, the metaphor of invisible hand that produces an order, a balance, was present from the start in both ecology and economy." -Emanuele Coccia
