Professor René Alberto Ramírez Gallegos (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México):
"‘Buen Vivir’ as an uchronic political horizon"
Tue, 18 July 2023, 6:00 PM
Großer Senat, Neue Aula
(Geschwister Scholl Platz, Tübingen)
The talk concerns itself with the realization of Buen Vivir as social priority in Ecuador, exposing the limitations of using money as an evaluator of well-being. Instead, it applies the metric “time for a good life” as the unit of analysis, and shows how time well lived is characterized by the production and enjoyment of relational goods, a concept that allows to address time distribution by focusing, among others, on the impact of time on the satisfaction with life.

The talk illustrates the interactions spanning the Mediterranean region from the Bronze Age until the Hellenistic period, depicting the mechanisms of transmission and presence of the mother goddess archetype across borders. As such, Eleonora Bedin's research contributes to an understanding of the complex dynamics between globalization, regional influences, and the worship of deities in the ancient Mediterranean, providing a deeper insight into this significant historical era.
