Maria Electra Pacini \u2013 DREST (Italian Doctoral School for Religious Studies), DSAAM, Ca\u2019 Foscari University of Venice (2022\u2013present)
\nRecipient of a PhD scholarship funded by the UBI Research Center, with the project:\"Buddhism and the Environment: Historical and Modern Case Studies\"<\/p>\n

Dr. Pacini\u2019s research proposes a shift in perspective in the study of the relationship between Buddhism and ecology. Rather than focusing on the meaning, forms, and uses of the concept of \u2018nature\u2019, the project investigates how the researching subject\u2014shaped by pre-existing discourses and imagery\u2014reproduces reifying aspectualizations through language, thought, and action.<\/p>\n

The core of the research is an analysis of the \u015a\u0101listambas\u016btra (3rd century CE), a Mah\u0101y\u0101na text embodying the ecological perspective of prat\u012btyasamutp\u0101da (dependent origination). The s\u016btra offers a non-objectifying view of interdependent processes in reality, presenting a dynamic and transformative understanding of the relationship between 'nature' and 'human being'.
\nThrough philological analysis of the Sanskrit, P\u0101li, and Chinese versions of the text, Dr. Pacini is working on an interlinguistic botanical thesaurus aimed at challenging contemporary objectified views of nature.<\/p>\n

In 2023, in collaboration with the UBI Study Center, she organized the seminar series \"Natura quo vadis. Semiosis and Topology of a Misunderstanding,\" consisting of three conference days and three cycles of specialist lectures, examining how the notion of 'nature' has been textualized across time and contexts, and how Buddhist sources offer tools to overturn conventional environmental thinking paradigms.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
