Über das Aussterben nachdenken
| Zusammenfassung | The project will reinvigorate the debate about the role of museums and galleries in stimulating critical philosophical, ethical and theological reflection on ecological issues, in this case the concept of global mass extinction. It will also explore the related question of how public audiences are able to 'feel' and 'think' about the concept of extinction, when they encounter objects of 'life and death' in the museum context. What do people think, imagine, and believe about the broad concept of 'extinction', and how are museums and galleries shaping such engagement? Its public facing exhibition will facilitate questions such as: Is mourning / lament an appropriate response to the phenomenon of extinction? Which visions of the future of 'humanity' or 'civilisation' (whether pessimistic or utopian) do we assume when we think about extinction? What other emotional, affective, moral responses are deemed appropriate? What beliefs about human death, life, mortality and immortality, are challenged? Is it acceptable to feel ambivalent in the face of extinction? What ongoing role (cultural, religious, fictional) might 'past' extinct life play in the social life of present and future generations (the power of living 'memory' for instance, or the belief in life's ongoing adaptation)? |
