Friday 23 October 2015
2.30 - 6.00pm
Convenor: Paul Rekret

Advances in our ability to make circulate, to intervene and to enhance biological functions have meant that the realm of culture (as realm of artificial constructions) now involves the transformation and commodification of ‘nature’ at its most elemental and molecular levels.  This workshop interrogates changing understandings of ‘life’, the human, and the natural in the context of these and related developments in biotechnology, biopolitics and bio-capital.

With:

BenoĆ®t Dillet (Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies), ‘Automation, Desire and Capital’

Alexander Wilson (Aarhus University) , ‘Chronopolitics, Biotechnology, and the Post-Human Narrative’

Danielle Sands (Royal Holloway), ‘Gaia, Gender, and the Anthropocene’

Paul Rekret (Richmond), ‘Cogito Ergo Habum’
