It’s been some time since this space has been active, and an update is long overdue. It will come very soon.
Meanwhile, I wanted to spread the word about an event taking place today and tomorrow. The Garden and the Dump: Across More-than-Human Entanglements is a two-day conference sponsored by Aarhus University in Denmark that is featuring a wonderful roster of speakers and presenters including ecophilosophers Tim Morton and Michael Marder, Chinese speculative fiction writer Chen Qiufan, and many others.
Morton’s and Marder’s talks are today at 5 and 6 pm (respectively) Central European Time (12 noon Eastern U.S. time). I’ll be giving a short presentation — I hesitate to call it a “talk” as it’s more of a “visual-proetic” (prosaic-poetic) montage — at 3:40 pm (10:40 am Eastern) tomorrow called “Event, Time, Trauma: Perambulations In and Around the Anthropocenic Zone.”
Best of all, this entire event is free and open to the public, for those who take a moment to register for it.
Incidentally, I’ll be giving somewhat longer, more prosaic variations of this talk next month at the Vermont Humanities Conference and at the Congress of Culture in Ukraine. More information on all of these can be read here.
Please stay tuned for a longer update on EcoCultureLab.
