Event overview
CISP Reading Group, April 28, 2016
What does it mean to be human in an age of technological transformation, environmental degradation, emerging epidemics, and ubiquitous capitalism? Who counts as a subject in contemporary sciences, politics, and other means of world-making? In a reading group on posthuman subjectivity and ethics, we wish to explore these questions through the writings of Barad, Braidotti, Derrida, Haraway, and Wolfe, among others. We hope to bring together scholars from different disciplines and departments at Goldsmiths.
At our third meeting on April 28 Thursday (3:30-5:30 @ WT1204), we turn to Rosi Braidotti's The Posthuman (2013), focusing on her argument for a feminist and posthumanities genealogy of the posthuman. We will aim at reading the whole text, but if you need to more time we suggest reading at least the introduction (pp.1-12), chapter 1 (pp.13-54), and the conclusion (pp.186-197) before the meeting.
We look forward to seeing you.
