| Abstract: |
A living manual for a discipline in motion. In the age of the Anthropocene, environmental law can no longer be taught through static textbooks that become obsolete the moment they are printed. This book is the direct result of a groundbreaking educational project at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, where the classroom was transformed into a polyphonic e knowledge. Departing from traditional memorization, this work emboises a radical shift toward open pedagogy It presents a "living" artifact co-created by students who acted as active cartographers of legal networks rather than passive consumers. By integrating rigorous legal doctrine with contemporary theoretical lenses-such as hyperobjects, the Stack, and post-normal science, this project challenges the law's capacity to govern systemic and diffuse risks. Designed as a renewable resource under an open access framework, this manual is intended to be revised and updated by successive generations. It serves as both a practical guide and a testament to a teaching praxis that prepares future jurists to navigate the uncertainty and complexity of today's socio-ecological challenges with critical agency and collective responsibility. |
