Event overview
European Doctoral Seminar 25th-26th February 2016
Situations of Knowing
Theories countering anthropocentrism have been on the rise in recent years. Criticisms of ‘correlationist’ thinking and the range of speculative, post-human, and non-human agencies proposed with those arguments, have enacted an “ontological turn” beginning from matter/objects itself/themselves. Yet this has left the question of the researcher's subjectivity ambiguous. Notions of embodied or situated knowledges sit uncomfortably amongst these trends where a divestment of human subjectivity can be observed. The 2016 Goldsmiths European Doctoral Seminar will explore the persisting role of the embodied situatedness of the researcher. If we acknowledge the researcher, the tools, methods and the “research object” to be active and entangled agents, temporal and spatial becomings, we can think how, rather than re-affirming a grounded, knowing subject, research which intimately engages with its material and discursive conditions might be involved in producing new subjectivities, epistemologies and temporalities
