Abstract

This thematic issue seeks to critically examine contemporary debates around the “rights of nature” from a legal perspective and from the viewpoint of the arts. The selection of texts, images, and works of art that coexist in this thematic issue aims to highlight and juxtapose different perspectives and contexts regarding this topic. In this sense, in addition to relying on existing works in the legal field, we have bet on an innovative view to integrate the arts as sources of knowledge that can provide a new outlook for the legal conceptualization of the rights of nature. As such, this issue includes academic articles, a section with a guest artist, a series of contemporary works of art, experimental and reflexive writings, and a documentary.

Keywords: Rights of nature, Contemporary debates, Legal perspective, Integration of the arts, Legal conceptualization
