Yves Citton’s Ways of Navigating Collapses – We are Europe Meets #8

Philosopher and essayist Yves Citton was invited to the 5th edition of European Lab Winter Forum for a discourse centered on the collective infatuation for catastrophic scenarios (collapse of the economy, of our society...) our western society recently developed. He also introduced his then unreleased printed work "Générations collapsonautes. Naviguer par temps d'effondrements" (Collapsist generation, navigating the downfall), co-written with Jacopo Rasmi and published by Éditions du Seuil in 2021.

In-between conversations held within La Marbrerie’s walls, we shared a conversation with the philosopher on our eroding world, the injustices that climate change bring, and the surprising levity of works of fictions navigating these catastrophic thematics.
