SUMMARY:The Posthumanities Hub webinar 5/11: Texturing values: Cyborg\, Literary and Place-Based Readings of Ecologies
DESCRIPTION:Dears! \nDo not miss out on this incredible webinar with our three magnificent guest researchers; Camilla Bernava (UniOr\, IT)\, Fatemeh Gholami (UKEN\, PO) and Tamalone van den Eijnden (UTwente\, NL). It takes place on Zoom (link below)\, at 13.15-15.00 CET on Tuesday 5th of November. Enjoy! \n  \nMaps and Portraits of Nature Itself: Notes for a cyborg reading of the history of ecology (Camilla Bernava) \n“Concepts from ecology permeate contemporary public discourse and serve as powerful metaphors shaping our understanding of nature. However\, the scientific field of ecology has often been undervalued as a critical area of inquiry\, even though its foundational concepts have\, not innocently\, contributed to fostering an attitude of mastery over nature. This paper brings together insights from the history and philosophy of science\, environmental humanities\, and feminist political philosophy to critically examine the ecosystem — a concept widely regarded as fundamental in ecology —through a cyborg perspective. The ecosystem is interpreted as a material and semiotic knot that has shaped a new image of nature within ecological discourse\, playing a role in the technoscientific turn that\, in non-innocent ways\, has challenged the binaries inherited from modernity. In particular\, the paper explores the political implications of how the concept of the ecosystem transcends the nature/culture dichotomy\, demonstrating how a cyborg perspective offers an alternative approach to overcoming this divide. This approach also allows for the resituation and contextualization of the cyborg figure\, arguing for its relevance and usefulness in contemporary debates within the environmental humanities”. \n  \nExploring Ecospace: Intersections of Values\, Identity\, and Environment in Literature (Fatemeh Gholami) \n“The concept of ecospace\, as it pertains to spaces imbued with values and care\, is pivotal in understanding how literary works reflect socio-economic and environmental dynamics. In this exploration\, ecospace will be analyzed through close readings of selected texts\, focusing on how authors depict space and place as integral components of human experience and identity. Ecospace transcends mere physical locations; it embodies the intricate relationships between individuals\, communities\, and their environments. This notion aligns with the idea that capital constructs new subjectivities\, suggesting that spaces are not just backdrops but active participants in shaping human narratives and identities. By examining literary representations of ecospace\, we can uncover the underlying values that inform characters’ interactions with their surroundings\, revealing a tapestry of care\, conflict\, and connection. Through a close reading of passages that describe various spaces\, this study will highlight how authors utilize landscape and setting to reflect broader socio-economic issues and personal struggles. The language employed in these texts often challenges traditional notions of space\, urging readers to reconsider the significance of place in their lives. As we confront the complexities of contemporary crises\, it becomes essential to engage with the nuanced language surrounding ecospace\, moving beyond outdated terminologies to embrace a more dynamic understanding of our environments”. \n  \nTowards commons-friendly modes of translating and registering values land (Tamalone van den Eijnden) \n“Today\, the Lutkemeerpolder\, a 43 hectare piece of fertile land in the city of Amsterdam\, is a terrain of competing visions of how its future could look like\, a food park or an industrial business park. These visions are entangled with different conceptions of valuing land and making this value legible. In current conversations within the field of urban agriculture\, there is an endorsement of translating the multiple socio-ecological values of land into ‘added values’\, turning them into add-ons to ongoing enclosure and financialization. They do not serve to make the case for urban agriculture and protect of the socio-ecological relationalities that it encompasses\, because as ‘added values’\, they can be easily translated back into the logic of financialization while being conceived as separate from the land itself. This problem begs the question\, how can the value of land be translated in ways that resists dynamics of enclosure and further financialization of land? In this presentation\, I turn to various place-based relational practices within the Lutkemeerpolder and reflect on how they open up avenues for translating values ‘forth’ into a logic of valuation that is commons-friendly. More specifically\, I will examine speculative artistic practices of mapping biodiversity otherwise\, daily practices of noting ordinary socio-ecological relations of land from a farmer or citizen science perspective\, and festive occasions during which those socio-ecological relations that cannot be grasped are celebrated with farmers and harvesters”. \n  \nWarmly welcome to this veritable smorgasbord of critical and creative research! \nZoom link: https://liu-se.zoom.us/j/7402234640?omn=63418072078

SUMMARY:Talk on feminist blue posthumanities\, with Cecilia Åsberg and Caroline Elgh
DESCRIPTION:For the people in Linköping\, Prof. Cecilia Åsberg and Caroline Elgh will give a talk (in Swedish) on feminist blue posthumanities at Humanistdygnet on the 5th of October. Don’t miss this beautiful talk! \n\n\n“Följ med oss på en resa under vattenytan där perspektiv från marinbiologi\, samtidskonst\, djurkommunikation\, historia och ekologi mixas.  \nFeministisk blå posthumaniora är ett nytt forskningsfält som vänder sig till vattenvärlden och fungerar som en brobyggare mellan humaniora\, naturvetenskap och konst. Föreläsningen för samman historiska tillbakablickar på vetenskapliga försök att lära delfiner tala engelska med fältarbete vid kustlinjer\, museer och arkiv där alger lär oss att skapa nya föreställningsvärldar.” \n\n\nTime: 5th October at 13:00 – 14:15 CET \n\n\nVenue: Östergötlands museum \n\n\nFurther information: https://humanistdygnet.se/event/posthumanism-humanistdygnet-241005 \n\n

SUMMARY:The Posthumanities Hub Webinar 26/9: From Birdsong to Deepfakes – Attending to Challenges for Music in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the first The Posthumanities Hub webinar of the Fall 2024! It will take place on Thursday 26 September at 13.15-15.00 hrs CET on Zoom \, with our dear Dr. Elin Kanhov (KTH). (Image credit: Evelina Jonsson/Azote) \nElin says: “In this webinar\, I attend to two major challenges of the 21st century – climate change and the technological advancements of artificial intelligence – and how music is affected by and responds to these challenges. Although seemingly widely different aspects of the world we live in today\, these two challenges can be understood as results of the same political\, socio-cultural\, and technological developments that we have experienced in the past half a century or so\, tied together by late capitalism\, globalisation\, and neoliberal culture. \nThroughout history\, Western art music has drawn inspiration from nature\, and nature has been conceptualised in music differently depending on the ideologies of the time. Today\, contemporary composers engage with nature in music with the constant presence of climate change and environmental issues\, which creates incentives to affirmatively explore the complex workings of nature and more-than-human relationships through their music. Turning to music and AI\, the technological advancements seen today in this field are in many perspectives disruptive. Music made with or by AI poses threats to copyright and intellectual property\, streaming platforms are swamped with spam music\, and AI risks homogenising musical creativity and aesthetics. Still\, AI also provides the potential to explore identities\, create new entanglements between individuals and collectives\, and transform human-technological agency in the creative process. \nTying together music\, nature\, and AI\, this talk takes you through a journey of birdsong\, outdoor percussion performance\, nonhuman data ethics in sound ecologies\, and audio-visual deepfake technologies. Through a posthumanist methodology\, I explore how we can think with music to understand these entangled assemblages of the more-than-human world. \nAs a preparatory reading for this seminar\, feel free to read the paper by myself and our fellow co-hubber Petra Jääskeläinen\, “Data Ethics and Practices of Human-Nonhuman Sound Technologies and Ecologies”\, linked below.” \nBio: Elin Kanhov is a researcher and musicologist working with perspectives from the feminist posthumanities\, environmental humanities\, critical theory\, and poststructuralist philosophy. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher in AI Music Studies in the ERC-funded project Music at the Frontiers of Artificial Creativity and Criticism (MUSAiC) at KTH Royal Institute of Technology\, Stockholm\, Sweden. \n\nThe research project MUSAiC at KTH: https://musaiclab.wordpress.com/\nJääskeläinen\, P.\, & Kanhov\, E.
