Based on more than five years participation in the Case Delle Erbe movement of the Apennine mountains of Central Italy, Foraging for a Future describes how spontaneous plants have become intrinsic to a social fabric involving an economy of exchange and living with greater freedom. It offers rare insights into a post-productive ‘experience economy’ that empowers people, and yet simultaneously decommodifies experiences – bypassing neoliberalism. In this book, Tamara Griffiths enters into dialogue with Heideggerian thinking, which is applied to the Case Delle Erbe with surprising outcomes. The results illuminate experiences of intersubjectivity beyond humans, showing how we can re-understand ourselves in nature, to create space for reciprocal and rich relationships with more-than-human communities.
