This year’s event will feature Julia Fiedorczuk and Lisa Robertson, two distinguished writers at the forefront of contemporary literary practice.

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.
Join us for a thought-provoking online book launch on Saturday, December 2nd 2023, at 10:00 a.m. EST, as we unveil Symbiotic Posthumanist Ecologies, in Western Literature, Philosophy, and Art. Towards Theory and Practice, edited by Peggy Karpouzou and Nikoleta Zampaki (Berlin: Peter Lang, 2023).
The book launch event will be conducted virtually on Zoom. To attend this enlightening session, please register in advance using the following link: Registration Link. Secure your virtual seat now!
