The Collective of Anthropology, Environment, and Biotechnodiversity (CHAMA) is pleased to invite you to the lecture "Steps toward an Anthropology of Life," with Perig Pitrou, professor at the Collège de France and researcher at the CNRS. The event will take place at the Tomie Ohtake Institute on Friday, August 22, from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM, and will feature simultaneous translation.

By explaining how life can become an object of investigation for anthropology—and not just for the life sciences—this lecture will present the project of a "general pragmatics of life" developed in the book "What Humans Source with Life." This research program seeks to compare how different human societies attempt to socialize the power of life through ritual practices or technoscientific devices, while also establishing institutions to care for the fragility of human lives.
