Cosmopolitical Experiments

Urban spaces are more-than-human...

Through eclectically drawing on social movement theory, ANT (actor-network theory), and Systems Ecology (from natural sciences (!)), we will follow how the practice of articulating values in contemporary urban spaces, in times of climate change, biodiversity loss, and rapid urbanization, seems to draw (or lure) citizens and decision-makers to engage in cosmopolitical experiments, in forming new ontological rhizomes (networks) that translate non-humans into urban citizens and evoke novel notions of value.
