  • Diffracted remainders of the subject? Beings in common, relations, and transformations

    Given this troubled history of liberatory thinking, how can we, then, conceive of agency, resistance, and freedom? The mini-conference invites contributions that challenge the legacy of the Western subject in providing critiques and critical genealogies of subjectivity and subjectivation and in exploring relationalities, modes of being in common, and social experiments that testify the possibility for political transformation beyond the subject.

    With kind support from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
