“Buen vivir - What we can learn about the good life from indigenous Latin American traditions.”
27 November 2024 | 7 p.m.
Prof. Dr. Philipp Altmann (Universidad Central del Ecuador)
Does the economy always have to grow? Does good development always mean having and achieving more? Today's social and ecological challenges are prompting scientists and activists to question the dominance of the growth dogma. The concept of Buen Vivir (“Good Life” or “Living Well”) plays a special role in these debates, as it was developed in the context of indigenous movements in Latin America. The lecture shows how this concept is taken up and dealt with in the networks and positions of German growth critics in order to develop ideas of a good life.
The lecture will be held in German language. A translation into English will be provided on site.
If you participate via Zoom, the lecture will be transmitted in German.
