EPTC/PRI 2024 panel – Posthumanism and the Human-technology Nexus | Call for proposals/participation
Conference Date: June 16-18, 2024 – McGill University (Montreal)
Deadline for proposals: January 31, 2024.
This call for proposals/participation in an EPTC/PRI panel presents a unique opportunity to address emerging questions in the human-technology relationship. It seeks to identify dominant narratives, worldviews, and social structures that facilitate humanist tendencies. Posthumanist philosophy delves into our understanding of the human-technology nexus, fostering the creation of novel narratives about our future on this planet. This philosophy recognizes the continual influence of technology in our evolution and its crucial role in shaping our identity. In this context, the PRI is looking for proposals that utilize Posthumanism as a practical framework for an in-depth exploration of the human-technology relationship.
