BOOK LAUNCH - Indo-European Ecologies: Cattle and Milk – Snakes and Water
DateTime toThis volume brings together scholars from different fields, exploring how early Indo-European communities understood and mythologized their natural and social environments. From sacred cattle and milk rituals to the chthonic symbolism of serpents and the mythological periphery of water, this interdisciplinary volume uncovers deep-rooted ecological imaginaries embedded in language, archaeology, and comparative mythology. With contributions spanning from the Indo-Iranian plains to the Baltic forests, the book reveals how beliefs about animals, agriculture and the household shaped Indo-European worldviews. Rich in detail and accessible in style, Indo-European Ecologies offers new perspectives for scholars and curious readers alike. It is the second volume in the book series Stockholm Studies in Indo-European Language and Culture .

WORKSHOP - Beyond Crisis: Emerging Temporalities in a Warming World
Date toSince the founding of IPCC in 1988, global societies have struggled to encompass the wide-ranging impact of anthropogenic climate change. This challenge has been predominantly approached through the concept of crisis. This workshop addresses the limitations of this view. Three major shortcomings of the analytical and political framework of crisis particularly comes to mind. First of all, it positions climate change on the same level as other disruptive events, for example pandemics, war and financial crises, with the inevitable effect that climate action is measured against and postponed by other crises and a proliferating tactics of ‘states of exception’. The second aspect concerns the original meaning of crisis as a transitional moment with a distinctive before and after. In terms of climate policy, this invites one-solution thinking based in unsubstantiated expectations of transformative technological innovations in the distant future. The third problem concerns the mismatch between, on the one hand, the multiple temporalities and extending durations of climate action and, on the other, the temporal flatness and presentism implicit in the concept of crisis. This workshop therefore posits that the growing engagement in late-modern societies with increasingly conflicted timescapes and matters of temporal injustice not only reflects the ‘climate crisis’, but also a far-reaching ‘crisis’ of modern temporality itself. It is against this critical backdrop that the workshop sets out to explore a different set of temporalities currently emerging from the historical experience of anthropogenic climate change.
