Tanner Lectures - Cosmopolites 1 – A Political Anthropology Beyond the Human
The path to sustainable development is paved with the best intentions, rigorous research, and innovative solutions. But often, this journey co-operates a crucial treasure trove of anthropological knowledge. By understanding the cultural context, traditional practices, and social dynamics of diverse communities, we unlock powerful insights that can transform sustainable development from theory to reality. So, Explore the complexities of sustainable development with the anthropological lens! Explain how traditional knowledge, cultural values, and social structures hold the key to a thriving future. Thank you for your interest.

The rooting of the descriptive tools of the social sciences in Enlightenment philosophy has blinded us to the fact that what is loosely called ‘societies’ are in fact, for extra-moderns, assemblages that, unlike ours, contain and associate much more than just humans, either because their institutions can integrate other-than-humans into collectives, or because other-than-humans are seen as political subjects acting within their collectives. In other words, the kinds of beings that result from these assemblages are not those to which philosophy or the social sciences usually pay attention: they are associations of humans and other-than-humans that take very diverse forms and, in this sense, can also offer food for thought about the much-needed transformation of the political and social institutions proper to the Moderns. We could call these assemblages cosmopolites in that they bring under the same regime of cosmic sociability a vast set of components that the ontology of the Moderns has tended to dissociate.
