Blurry Bodies – Blurry Selves: Corporeality in the Anthropocene
WORKSHOP - 5 June 2024, 10 am - 7 pm CEST
The workshop will explore the interplay between blurry bodies, landscapes, and large-scale earthly transformations in contemporary literature, culture, and theory. In this way, we seek to examine the contemporary clash of scales as a continuous and interdisciplinary negotiation of blurry bodies changed to other, yet to be theorized forms in the Anthropocene.
Hybrid event: in-person at the University of Vienna & online via Zoom
