"Terranias was created in 2021, when researchers from the "Philosophy and the Environmental Issue" research lab at the Department of Philosophy at PUC-Rio held an online event to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the research lab. Established by Professor Déborah Danowski in 2011, it was the first group in Brazil dedicated to ecological thinking and the problems of the Anthropocene."
"Since the end of 2019, Danowski and her students had been meeting to create a space for discussing research in environmental philosophy, and the need to think together became even more pressing during the coronavirus pandemic. At the 2021 event, which marked the creation of Terranias, we took stock of the research developed over the last decade and planted the seeds for future projects."
Terranias formed in 2021 at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro as an expansion of a decade-long lab focused on the environmental issue. The group emerged from meetings starting in 2019 and intensified collaboration during the coronavirus pandemic. Terranias brings together philosophers, anthropologists, biologists, artists, and historians to rethink philosophical practice in response to the Anthropocene. The collective emphasizes interdisciplinary dialogue, the inclusion of traditional and nonacademic knowledges, and thinking from southern and marginalized perspectives. The group engages in collective experimentation and project development and currently comprises a core of 27 researchers across multiple institutions and cities.
