Thalia Bousiopoulou participated in a conference in Lille, France, with a presentation titled: “‘Nous sommes tous des lichens’. La symbiose de l’homme et de l’animal en perspective éco-philosophique dans le théâtre grec contemporain” (“‘We are all lichens’. The symbiosis of man and animal in an eco-philosophical perspective in contemporary Greek theatre”).
The conference, titled Utopies contemporaines et esthétiques de l’animalité dans la littérature et les arts. Contextes méditerranéens (Contemporary utopias and aesthetics of animality in literature and the arts. Mediterranean contexts), was organized by the University of Lille (Laboratoire CECILLE) and the Theatre Studies Department, NKUA and took place on 6th and 7th June, 2024.
One of the fundamental aims of the conference is to reflect on the presence of contemporary utopias, which can evolve both in an environmental context and in a wider social and cultural ecosystem. More specifically, the conference explores the concept of animality in relation to a contemporary utopian dimension, often inherent in the various situations represented, notably in neo-Hellenic theatre, literature and cinema. The aim is also to highlight new conceptions of the symbiosis between nature and society, the human and the non-human, by placing it within an aesthetic discourse whose political content is undeniable, even if it is sometimes underlying.
