Lecture with Alexander Etkind "Cultural History of Natural Resources"

On February 14, 2025, at 5:00 PM the Latvian Academy of Culture (LAC) Gara māja (Miera street 58) will host a lecture "Cultural History of Natural Resources" by Alexander Etkind, which will launch a lecture series dedicated to the history of culture, aiming to introduce students and a wider audience to contemporary research in the history of culture. In his lecture, Etkind will use examples from modern history to argue that economies thrive on productive labour and human creativity rather than the exploitative depletion of natural resources.
