Wealth in the ecological crisis: no right life in the wrong property

Lecture by Prof. Sighard Neckel (University of Hamburg), followed by a discussion with Prof. Silke van Dyk (FSU Jena)

Wealth plays a major role in causing climate change. Not only because of massive overconsumption, but above all because of the investments made by the wealthy upper classes in a fossil fuel economy, which has caused climate change on the planet in the first place. This raises the question of a property system that would be suitable for protecting the ecological foundations of life and could be based on the consent of broad sections of the population. No fact illustrates the limits of private property rights as dramatically as the threat to the Earth system.

Workshop: From Contested Ownership to (In)Voluntary Returns: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Postcolonial Fight for Restitution and Repatriation

The interdisciplinary workshop aims to reassess the fight for repatriation and restitution by bringing together questions of ownership and voluntariness that are addressed in the Collaborative Research Center “Structural Change of Property” (Universities Erfurt and Jena) and the DFG-Research Group “Voluntariness” (Universities of Erfurt, Jena and Oldenburg). Focusing on questions of ownership, the workshop will examine how activists have tried to contest Western notions of ownership in the debates on repatriation and restitution and how Western museums and collection have reacted towards these efforts. The workshop will take place with our Mercator Fellow Flower Manase.
