We're joined by Rosi Braidotti, Distinguished University Professor Emerita at Utrecht University and founding director of the Centre for the Humanities, for a wide-ranging conversation on posthumanism as both a philosophical project and a political orientation.Braidotti's work has constructed one of the most sustained and consequential accounts of what comes after the collapse of Eurocentric 'humanism.' The conversation traces the long arc from her early intervention on nomadic subjectivity, a materialist corrective to postmodernism's drift into linguistic relativism, through the ethical and ontological turn that her posthumanist project represents. Where poststructuralism gave us the critique of the subject as origin, nomadism gave us a subject that is grounded, embodied, multiple, and in motion.Central to the episode is the missing link in the American reception of French theory: the radical materialist tradition of Deleuze and Guattari, which diagnosed capitalism's schizophrenic logic (its ability to deterritorialize and adapt faster than any opposition) long before it became common sense. Braidotti traces the suppression of that critique through the French Communist Party's blacklists, the invention of "French theory" as an exportable product stripped of its political economy, and the consequences for a left that lost the ability to think technogenesis, cognitive capitalism, or the mutation of subjectivity under media saturation.The conversation then turns to fascism as concept rather than historical event: the philosophical move that Deleuze and Guattari made and that Foucault named in his preface to Anti-Oedipus. This allows Braidotti to connect micro-fascism (the cult of negativity, the eroticization of power-as-humiliation, the viral spread of impotence) to the coherent neo-fascist philosophical tradition running from Alain de Benoit through the Heritage Foundation and Budapest to Peter Thiel's Yale dissertation on sacrifice. While the left blocked its own analytical capacities, the right was doing serious philosophical work.Against all of this, Bradiotti proposes affirmative ethics: a Spinozist praxis of activating what a body can do. The episode ends thinking through scale, how affirmative ethics operates from the city to the planetary, and the urgency of the European federalist project as the only existing institutional attempt to participate in decisions about what we could possibly become.Some references:Rosi BraidottiPatterns of Dissonance, Polity Press, 1991Nomadic Subjects: Embodiment and Sexual Difference in Contemporary Feminist Theory, Columbia University Press, 1994Metamorphoses: Towards a Materialist Theory of Becoming, Polity Press, 2002Transpositions: On Nomadic Ethics, Polity Press, 2006The Posthuman, Polity Press, 2013Gilles Deleuze & Félix GuattariAnti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, 1972 (English trans. 1977, preface by Michel Foucault)A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, 1980Félix GuattariThe Three Ecologies, 1989 (English trans. 1991)Michel FoucaultPreface to the American edition of Anti-Oedipus, 1977SpinozaEthicsTheological-Political TreatiseAntonio NegriThe Savage Anomaly: The Power of Spinoza's Metaphysics and Politics, 1981Genevieve LloydPart of Nature: Self-Knowledge in Spinoza's Ethics, University of Minnesota Press, 1994Spinoza and the Ethics, Routledge, 1996Antonio DamasioDescartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain, 1994Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain, 2003Simone de BeauvoirThe Second Sex, 1949Frantz Fanon — mentioned in relation to decolonial thought and the anti-fascist generation Herbert MarcuseOne-Dimensional Man, 1964Eros and Civilization, 1955Rosa Luxemburg — cited as an ecological thinker; the dialogue with Lenin in Zurich narrated by Isaiah Berlin Isaiah Berlin — on Spinoza and radical enlightenment; on Rosa LuxemburgAltiero SpinelliThe Ventotene Manifesto, 1941 — founding document of the European federalist projectDonna Haraway"A Cyborg Manifesto," 1985VNS Matrix"A Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century," 1991Alain de Benoist — neo-fascist philosopher, intellectual architect of the European New Right; cited as formative influence on Steve Bannon and the Heritage Foundation / Budapest / Rome foundation networksJulius Evola — philosopher of Italian fascism; cited alongside de Benoist as daily reference for BannonPeter Thiel — PhD dissertation on René Girard and the concept of sacrifice, Stanford / Yale; position papers on technological selection and extinction

Incontro con Bruna Braidotti, Maria Letizia Compatangelo e Emilia Costantini Una capillare panoramica sulla cultura teatrale femminile del mondo occidentale, che è parte della storia della società umana e dei suoi codici, delle sue contraddizioni, delle sue insofferenze e delle sue sofferenze. Dai ditirambi di Prassilla alle operette morali di Rosvita, da Isabella Andreini alle commedie di Aphra Behn, a Georges Sand, a Margherite Duras, fino a Dacia Maraini – l'intensa ricerca delle testimonianze di una condizione sociale tenuta per secoli in stato di cattività creativa. Edizione 2022 www.pordenonelegge.it
This bonus episode is the second half of our conversation with Rosi Braidotti. In this part, Braidotti discusses the culture wars, genealogies of Black feminisms, the relationship between gender and capitalism, the rise of neoliberal feminism and the effect that has had on solidarities between generations of feminists, and of course, the feminist posthuman project. She takes us from Virginia Woolf to Alice Walker, Paul Preciado to Shulamith Firestone. She explains why Firestone predicted some of reproductive possibilities we now had on offer, but failed to see that capitalism, not revolution, would be the source of these reproductive freedoms. She explains why corporations like IBM that have been thinking about gender as a spectrum, inherit these ideas from John Money and the gender reassignment clinics back in the 60s, and why most good predictions about capitalism can be attributed to Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. We hope you enjoy the show.
In this episode, Eleanor chats to Rosi Braidotti, one of the leading philosophers of our time and a Distinguished Professor at Utrecht University. Her pioneering theory of posthumanism is a way of thinking that she believes is key to understanding the posthuman condition within which we all exist. We are releasing this conversation in two parts. In this first part, she explains how to embrace the crises and possibilities of advanced capitalism, what it means for NASA to choose Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man as one of its logos, and why colonising outer space risks repeating the worst features of terrestrial capitalism. Look out for the bonus episode for the second half of this interview, which will be released very soon.
This episode of the 'Research @ OU Graduate School' Podcast is an informal introduction of the OU's Posthuman Collective research group. In the podcast the Posthumanist Collective members, students and academics, will talk about how and why the group started and how the weaving, thinking, and becoming with each other, their PhD experiences and their research led to different, positive, and productive ways of working and researching in the academia. The group will discuss several key Posthumanist and New Materialist concepts and modes of inquiry, such as diffraction or the processes of making-with, to provide a window into and start a discussion around these significant theories. More importantly, they will talk about what Posthumanist/New Materialist concepts do for our daily struggles, in the academic and personal life and at times of a pandemic, and how they can be harnessed towards rebuilding and rethinking what next in relation to academic career and personal life. The following content therefore engages, entangles, and thinks-with Posthumanist and New Materialist theories as they are lived and enacted by a group of OU researchers in their personal and academics contexts. To contact the group please email Posthumanist.Collective@gmail.com or reach them individually through their respective institutional emails. AUTHORS Petra Vackova is a fourth-year PhD student at the Open University and a member of a Children's Research Centre. She has recently completed her PhD thesis that engages feminist new materialist theories to explore socio-material interactions in and around artmaking beyond processes of social inclusion and exclusion and towards educational justice to come in early-years settings working with historically disadvantaged children and families. Donata Puntil is studying for a Doctorate in Education at the Open University as part of the Language Acts and Worldmaking Project. She is also the Programme Director for the Modern language Centre at KCL, and she has an extensive teaching and research experience in Second Language Acquisition, Intercultural Studies and Applied Linguistics, with a particular focus on using cinema and literature in language teaching. Carolyn Cooke has recently, successfully completed her PhD at the University of Aberdeen focused on music student teachers' experiences of 'living' pedagogy. She has worked as a music teacher, a head of music in a large secondary school, and is now working as a Lecturer at the Open University with particular responsibilities for the music PGCE course and generic aspects of PGCE courses for six secondary subjects. Emily Dowdeswell is a second-year PhD student at the Open University and her doctoral research explores the role of fun in learning. In her research she focuses on the perspectives of primary schools pupils to learn how they understand fun and learning to develop and build an innovative model for the role of fun in learning in primary education.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophyIn this episode, I turn my focus of posthumanism and Braidotti's seminal text, "The Posthuman." Braidotti's brand of posthumanism is a Deleuzian one, seeing the potential of becoming and deterritorialization to oppose the oppressive logic of commodification and identity in late capitalism.
Amy Braidotti, like so many of us, needed to get really dark to understand her own light. Through the relationships in her life – friends, family, lovers –it was ultimately learning to love herself that finally brought beautiful clarity and peace to her heart.
SONIC ACTS FESTIVAL 2019 – HEREAFTER Rosi Braidotti – Necropolitics and Ways of Dying 22 February 2019 – De Brakke Grond, Amsterdam, The Netherlands with an introduction by Rick Dolphijn. What does it mean to die within the posthuman convergence, which positions us – humans and non-humans – between the Fourth Industrial Age and the Sixth Extinction? This contemporary convergence results in the shifting of boundaries between bio-power and necro-politics, life and death, the government of the living and the practices of dying. I will refer to a neo-materialist philosophy of non-human life as 'Zoe' and argue that both the concept of life and that of death need to be approached with more complexity and more attention to power differences. Rosi Braidotti is Distinguished University Professor and founding Director of the Centre for the Humanities at Utrecht University. Her publications include: Patterns of Dissonance (1991), Metamorphoses (2002), Transpositions (2006), La philosophie, lá où on né l’attend pas (2009), Nomadic Subjects (1994; 2011), Nomadic Theory (2011), The Posthuman (2013). She recently co-edited Conflicting Humanities (2016) with Paul Gilroy and The Posthuman Glossary (2018) with Maria Hlavajova.

Højgravide robotter, feministisk sci-fi og medierede stemmer; I dette 10. afsnit af Kunsten.Nu’s podcast-serie om lydkunst skal du møde video- og performancekunstner Nanna Lysholt Hansen, som er mester i at sætte umiddelbare modsætninger sammen i minimalistiske og konfronterende værker. I denne podcast fortæller Lysholt Hansen om sit performance-projekt “Dear Daughter”, som hun skal opføre i to versioner i den kommende weekends performance-festival Kulstof 15 i Aalborg. Du vil desuden møde ph.d.-studerende Stina Hasse som forsker i menneskers interaktion med robotter ved Institut for Kunst- og Kulturvidenskab på Københavns Universitet, og blive klogere på hvordan en tekst skrevet i midten af 80erne, kan blive aktualiseret i hænderne på en kunstner som Nanna Lysholt Hansen. Fakta: Nanna Lysholt Hansen (f. 1980) er uddannet fra Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi i 2011. Hun arbejder med både lyd, foto, skulptur og performance i sine undersøgelser af kroppens tilstedeværelse i rum og dens forbindelse til ting og genstandes statiske objektivitet. Gennem sine kunstneriske eksperimenter undersøger hun med sin krop hvordan vi forholder os til de rum, der omgiver os, og hvordan kan vi dele rum og territorier og udveksle kropslige efaringer.

What is your identity? Do you spend much time thinking about that today? Maybe yes, maybe not. When you are an ethnically diverse, usually have American, half Japanese, student growing up in Japan, chances are you think a lot about your identity.Growing up ethnically mixed in an ethnically homogenous society like Japan is challenging, complex and sometimes plain difficult. Unlike the third culture kids (TCKs) we have in our international schools, these Amerasian students are more like second culture kids caught between two worlds. The unique needs of these students motivated a group of parents to start their own school: The Amerasian American School of Okinawa to address the specific circumstances of these students.Mr. D is the ICT Director and he shares his understanding of the school and how he leverages technology to create a multilingual reading program connected, in part, by those magical QR codes.Here is the paper he talks about."We are finding a way to bring the (AmerAsian) community together." -- Mr. D Tweet ThisBioA recently self-diagnosed lifelong learner, Mr. D. is Director of EdTech at the AmerAsian School in Okinawa, where a few of his other hats are EdTech & Learning Innovation Coach, and MS G8 homeroom teacher (7 students in all) -- in the classroom he instructs MS Music and Design/Digital Literacy.In his spare time, à la a heady mix of thinkers like Ahmed, Braidotti, boyd, Taylor, and Nusselder, he's totes into generalising intersectional knowledge on the emergent posthuman subjectivities of populations of mediated “disruptive” youth learners in diasporic, post-materialist subcultures. ♥️COETAIL & ♥️L2Asia! #beyondlaptops 4EVR!Connect with Mr. D Twitter: @aasomrd Google Plus: ICT AASO Email: ict@amerasianschoolokinawa.org
