5th ISA Forum of Sociology (6-11 July 2025)

Life is a constant pulse, a dynamic movement that drives us to go further, to seek new challenges, and to reinvent ourselves every day. It is through engagement with the world that we become more connected with our own essence, with other beings and with the nature that surrounds us. In this sense, supported by Tim Ingold, it is essential to trust and recover the deep connection we have with nature and with our own bodies, valuing the diversity and uniqueness of each living being. We must avoid the logic of exploitation and domination of nature and the body, connecting with the wisdom and natural cycles that govern life. Following Ailton Krenak, by considering the interdependence and interconnection between all living beings, we are able to act more consciously and responsibly, seeking sustainable and harmonious solutions to coexist in balance with the environment and our own ancestry. It is important that we value art, culture and creativity as tools to express and celebrate our relationship with nature and our own bodies, promoting an ethic of care that nourishes life in all its forms. In short, respect and care for living nature and our sacred body not only connects us with our deepest essence, but also inspires us to live more fully, authentically and meaningfully. This is the invitation to consider the beauty and sacredness that is present in every living being and in every moment of our existence. Come with us... in this discussion about the relationship between body-art-environment.
