Presentation:
The theme of our 6th annual “Beyond Humanism Conference” is “Posthuman Politics.”
What does the notion of “posthuman politics” entail?
How would world politics, in global, local, environmental and personal/bodily scales, benefit from a posthumanist approach?
We will explore the notion of relationality and connectivity among spaces and times
for a new definition of politics based on non-dualistic, posthuman practices.
More in general, the Conference Series “Beyond Humanism”
provides a platform for bridging different perspectives on the posthuman.
A reception will follow.
If you are planning to participate, please RSVP.
