Mohamed Amer Meziane The desert and the underground, The environmental history of Orientalism

In many ways, the critique of Orientalism is the founding act of postcolonial studies. Criticised as a colonial system of representation, the question of the contribution of this discourse to the current climate crisis has been less frequently raised. This is what philosopher Mohamed Amer Meziane proposes in this lecture by analysing two non-human figures: the desert and the underground.
