sharing and organizing
Participants to the World Networks are encouraged to explore the posthuman turn by challenging normative paradigms, aware of the risk of replicating hegemonic perspectives. The invitation is to engage with regional philosophies, perspectives, practices and experiences (expanding beyond the written canon), to offer a deeper understanding of the posthuman condition. Participants from any part of the world can participate to any regional meeting by honoring these guidelines:
- The topics, references and reflections should embrace the socio-cultural, philosophical, technological and ecological phenomena (among others) referring specifically to the interested geo-political areas.
- Knowledges from other parts of the world are welcome as much as they are fully engaging with regional knowledges, traditions and references.
- Specific attention should be given to the practices. For instance, multi-lingual approaches are encouraged in order to allow for different perspectives and plurality of vision. Those presenting in languages other than the main one(s) chosen by a specific network are kindly invited to provide a translation of their contributions.
- The goal of these meetings is to allow participants to learn from each other, in a shared effort to expand the existential inquiry of the posthuman condition.
- Every couple of years participants share their contributions in digital and / or physical Summits connected to the Global Posthuman Network.
COORDINATED EVENTS
The first coordinated event was the Posthuman Week, June 2021, with free events happening simultaneously in Argentina, India, Italy and Spain, among others.
