L'écologie comme expérience

This book takes a renewed look at the notion of "limits" - be they conceptual, technical, phenomenological or practical - which is often at the heart of contemporary ecological and environmental issues, taking as its starting point and focus our experiences of nature. The articles gathered here are poetic accounts and renditions of sensitive experiences, philosophical and literary analyses, real or imagined accounts of experiences, geographical or sociological descriptions and explanations of certain collective experiences; all of which question, anchored in specific places and landscapes, the place or disappearance of limits in the face of reality and its transformations. Each article blurs boundaries in its own way, and the book as a whole highlights the ecological stakes involved in the sensitive and practical experiences we have of certain places we live in or know, at different scales, as well as the need to share them, but also, collectively, to enrich or densify our experience of the world.
