Matilde Ferrucci

Während jedoch die reale Geschichte aus dem realen Leiden gewoben ist, das keineswegs proportional mit dem Anwachsen der Mittel zu seiner Abschaffung geringer wird, ist die Erfüllung der Perspektive auf den Begriff angewiesen (Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheiemer).

Before joining this project, I studied Theoretical Philosophy in Turin, where I have also been a part of an interdisciplinary program offered by the University (Scuola di Studi Superiori Ferdinando Rossi).

My main interest lies in a critical approach to capitalism, and I believe that the environmental crisis offers the most radical and holistic starting point for developing an effective critique of contemporary societies.

My project addresses the environmental crisis by arguing that fostering real change requires a radical shift in the assumptions underlying our ways of life. My thesis advocates for a transformation of our societal structures, opposing superficial adjustments, such as current sustainability policies, thus creating the space for new narratives to flourish. Developing these new narratives requires a multidisciplinary approach, given the complexity of the issue and the different spheres in which our assumptions operate.
