Human beings are not superior rulers over nature, but are closely intertwined with it; we are symbiotic creatures of Gaia. That is the theory of French sociologist and philosopher and Bruno Latour, whose Gaia theory argues that global progress is an undesirable utopia. The topic of the 2017 Unseld Lecture is Political Ecology; Latour will outline and discuss his theory. Latour is known for his work in the area of investigation into the impact of science and technology, which has received the critical attention of researchers across the disciplines, particularly in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
