The premises of ecological thinking.<\/strong> When and how does green awareness emerge?<\/em><\/p>\n The second lecture, on Tuesday 12 December at 6.30pm, defines the culture, or rather cultures, of the Anthropocene through this methodological obligation: to qualify and specify its foundations: historical foundations, societal foundations, psychological foundations. When and how does ‘green consciousness’ emerge? How does ecological thinking emerge? How does it affect our minds and bodies?<\/p>\n The “green conscience” that emerges from the field of theoretical reflection is also an embodied conscience, intimately experienced, forged in direct contact with reality, from the moment we enter our domestic interiors and in the immediate landscape, which has become anthropocene. The best green consciousness, the most efficient, the most combative, is less intellectual than organic; it is less something of the mind than something carnal, something of the flesh.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Paul Ardenne<\/strong> has a degree in History and a doctorate in Arts and Art Sciences. He is a contributor to the journals Art press, Archistorm and INTER-Art actuel, and is the author of several books: Art, l’\u00e2ge contemporain (1997), L’Art dans son moment politique (2000), L’Image Corps (2001), Un Art contextuel (2002), Art, le pr\u00e9sent (2009), Un Art \u00e9cologique. Cr\u00e9ation plasticienne et anthropoc\u00e8ne (2018), L’Art en joie. Aesthetics of joyful humanity (2023). He is also a novelist and specialist in architecture (Terre Habit\u00e9e, 2005; La Bonne ville, 2019; Le Boost et le frein – Comment l’humain b\u00e2tit au 21e si\u00e8cle?, 2021…).<\/em><\/p>\n As a curator of contemporary art, Paul Ardenne has designed numerous exhibitions, the most recent of which are “Dendromorphies.
