WORLD REGIONAL SUMMITS

PLANETARY POSTHUMAN SUMMITS PROJECT

General description of the project

Participants to the Regional Summits are encouraged to explore the posthuman turn by challenging the normative paradigms and the risk of replicating hegemonic knowledges and references. The invitation to participants is to engage with regional philosophies, perspectives, practices and experiences (which may expand 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 topic, 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.
  • A specific attention should be given to the practices. For instance, multi-lingual approaches are encouraged to allow exchanges in different languages and to support cultural pluralism. (Those interested in presenting in a language other than English are required to provide a written English-language translation of their talks and of their multimedia presentations; during the Q&A session they should facilitate the possibility of direct translation into English or another lingua franca).
  • The goal of the open and evolving frames of these meetings is to allow participants to learn from each other (not to teach to each other) in a shared effort to expand the existential enquiry of the posthuman condition.
  • Every five years participants will share their reflections and contributions in digital or physical meetings connected to the World Congress of Philosophy in panels organized by the World Posthuman Society (WPS) and the Beyond Humanism Network to be in a constant and evolving plurilogue about the notion of the posthuman.
