These two perspectives reveal an important point of observation, which is crucial (and mainly overlooked by) Western scholars. And this is a fascinating standpoint to understand the environment #ConEnvHist #Environmentalhumanities

Cosa hanno da insegnarci le piante
Dall’intreccio tra cultura indigena, scienza occidentale e mondo vegetale, una riflessione su come ripensare il legame tra esseri umani e natura.
In my latest article for #ilTascabile, I explore how much indigenous and non-European cultures have predated the recent studies of plant intelligence, revealing a fascinating attention to the vegetal world. Here, I discuss #WallKimmer and #SumanaRoy books

It raises a vivid debate and I am happy to discuss it further
