Xenia Chiaramonte

Xenia Chiaramonte is a gaiajurist: she studies law and the potential of legal techniques in the time of Gaia. She is a fellow at the ICI Berlin (Institute for Cultural Inquiry), where she develops a project on law and ecology in which she questions the neutrality of the concept of nature implicit in the so-called rights of nature and proposes a materialist approach centered on the practices activated by social movements. She recently published her research monograph, “Governare il conflitto: La criminalizzazione del movimento No TAV” (Milan, 2019), a judicial ethnography and a fieldwork of one of the most longstanding environmental movements in Western Europe. Recently, she has been exploring new narratives and published her first science-fiction tale, “Greetings from the Undergrowth.”
