Reflections on Planetary Habitability

For a long time, the human race has been concerned with how life emerges and the conditions of its evolution and persistence. Increasingly, debates about life futures are framed in terms of the conditions under which life ends. In this lecture, Achille Mbembe will revisit the concept of “planetary habitability”. Amongst others, he will show the extent to which planetary habitability is inseparable from a politics of care, repair and restitution.
