Laboratorio dell'immaginario politico al FISSSUF di UniPg la quarta edizione del convegno internazionale

Promuovere un mondo più sostenibile, pacifico e giusto: è questo l'obiettivo del convegno internazionale al Fissuf (Dipartimento di Filosofia, scienze sociali, umane e della formazione dell'università degli Studi di Perugia), in programma dal 30 settembre al 2 ottobre. Si tratta della quarta edizione del laboratorio dell'immaginario politico ("Political Imagination Laboratory”) , con la partecipazione di studiosi delle scienze sociali, attivisti e filmmaker provenienti da tutta l'Europa.  

Sul tema "Utopias of Sustainibility - The Sustainibility of Utopias" – iniziativa promossa dall’Ateneo perugino e dall’Università di Innsbruck - si alterneranno comunicazioni e presentazioni di documentari e video.  

“Vengono interrogate le trasformazioni dell'immaginario politico contemporaneo e le prospettive per promuovere un mondo più sostenibile, pacifico e giusto. Negli anni, l'evento è venuto a caratterizzarsi come un laboratorio aperto in un'atmosfera particolarmente accogliente piuttosto che un convegno standard”, sottolinea il Prof. Alexander Koensler (Università degli Studi di Perugia) che, insieme al Prof. Marion Naeser-Lather (Università di Innsbruck), coordina il comitato scientifico del convegno internazionale.
