Event overview
A BSA New Materialisms Study Group Event, hosted by the Department of Sociology and Centre for Critical Global Change at Goldsmiths.
From climate change to health and well-being, from AI to gender-related violence, scholars have recognised the materiality that cuts through nature/culture dualism. New materialist and other more-than-human approaches are revealing new insights about society and posthumans’ place within the natural world.
By decentring the posthuman as sole agent of meaning and agency, and embracing more-than-human ontologies, these approaches aim to foster innovative dialogues on the porous boundaries between organisms, environments, technologies, societies and materials.
This one-day conference showcases new materialist and posthuman research from scholars at all career stages and provides an opportunity to network with others using these approaches.
We are delighted that our keynote speaker will be leading feminist materialist scholar Professor Lisa Blackman. Their talk is entitled: 'Meanings that matter: semiotic combat and communicative control'.
Tickets must be booked in advance via the BSA registration page. https://www.britsoc.co.uk/events/key-bsa-events/materiality-society-and-the-more-than-human/
