Nature project 2004 : call to all !

As part of a reflective project, we are working on the place nature occupies in the life of each one of us, in our imagination, in our experience? Almost paradoxically, nature seems, indeed, to play a fundamental part in our societies ; even though it is questioned in some speeches, it is nevertheless omnipresent : one speaks of a need for a ’refreshing break in the country’, a search for one’s own ’nature’, one resorts to nature as a model or on the contrary as something to reject, etc., etc. The word "nature" in itself conveys many different meanings? Anyhow, this notion does not seem necessarily obvious to everyone.

That is why we are starting research on the representations we have of nature, on the meaning we give it, and therefore call on you ; we would like you to take a few minutes (or more, of course!) to send us your own ’definition’ of nature, the way you understand it, perceive it, appreciate it (or not!), in two words or two pages.

We are thinking about offering a panorama featuring all the definitions we will receive on a website dedicated to this project...
