Dysphoria Mundi
“What if the contemporary planetary condition was the result of a generalized epistemic and political dysphoria?” Taking this question from Paul B. Preciado’s latest book “Dysphoria Mundi” and drawing from Jack Halberstam’s recent research on figurations of ‘collapse’ and ‘un/worlding,’ the distinguished theorists will engage in a conversation that highlights trans theory as a mode for gaining new insights into the constitution and grievances of the present.
How can people explain that trans people and migrants have become the central target of national security necropolitical measures in contexts that presented themselves as democratic? How can we rethink political action facing the new alliances between archaic forms of white supremacist and patriarchal power, new genetic, biotech, cybernetic and AI technologies?
The evening will focus on potent modes of bodily and planetary resistance to our contemporary conditions. It addresses hypercapitalist regimes of exploitation and exhaustion, epistemic radicality, and the aesthetics and politics that produce and accompany collapse.
