Join EVERYONE IS A GIRL for our panel EXTRACORPOREAL: BODIES AND THE URGE TO TRANSCEND.
For EVERYONE IS A GIRL’s second round of presentations for Pushkin YOUNG, we introduced four speakers that tackle the problem of the body. The body has had a muddled and sultry decade in the world of critical theory as various new frameworks (posthumanism, transhumanism, corporeal feminism, OOO, etc.) attempt to take on its relation to other organisms, technology, and (a possible) higher consciousness.
In this series of presentations, four researchers – Carolina Grancho, Andrea Evgenieva, Sabina Otelea, and Blue – guide us through their practices. We seek to inquisit: How do we react to, dismantle, or reconfigure mind/body dualism? What role should sexual difference play in our discussions of the body’s future, if any? What does it mean that certain spaces are now being designed for machines and profit, rather than the movement of bodies? Is the body a problem, or just a starting point?
The four presentations were followed by an experimental, audience-focused discussion led by writer Noa Fischer.
