description In this interview, starting from the concept of ubuntu, James Ogude explains the ethical and philosophical implications of this term, by focusing on current health and environmental emergencies. Ubuntu is based on the ideas of co-agency and relationality, ideas that go far beyond a purely anthropocentric worldview. Ogude applies the concept of ubuntu to postcolonial studies and ecocriticism and shows that it represents an important analytical tool to retrace the phenomena of appropriation of nature and environmental injustice in the age of the Anthropocene.
