What worlds take root in war? In her book A Landscape of War. Ecologies of Resistance and Survival in South Lebanon, anthropologist Munira Khayyat describes life along the southern border of Lebanon, where resistant ecologies thrive amid a terrain of perennial war.
A Landscape of War takes us to frontline villages where armed invasions, indiscriminate bombings, and scattered land mines have become the environment where everyday life is waged. This book dwells with multispecies partnerships such as tobacco farming and goat herding that carry life through seasons of destruction. Neither green-tinged utopia nor total devastation, these ecologies make life possible in an insistently deadly region.
In this workshop we will bring together people who deal with the question of the connection between war and ecology as researchers, activists, artists and teachers, and those affected,and enter into a personal exchange with Munira Khayyat.
