Description
These two symposia will explore the development of Isabelle Stengers’ most recent work, and will engage with her and the audience in conversations about many of her influential concepts and propositions. The two days will consist of brief interventions by Goldsmiths staff members that will focus around a selection of her most recent essays. These will be followed by conversations with Stengers as well as with members of the audience.
The second day will explore her call for ‘(re)learning the art of paying attention’, in connection to questions of ontological politics, capitalism, and political ecology.
Isabelle Stengers is professor of philosophy at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. She is trained as a chemist and philosopher, and has authored and co-authored many books on the philosophy of science. In 1993 she received the grand price for philosophy from the Académie Francaise. Her last book published in English is In Catastrophic Times: Resisting the Coming Barbarism (Open Humanities Press 2015).
This event is hosted by the Centre for Invention and Social Process (CSISP) and the Centre for Philosophy and Critical Thought (CPCT), Goldsmiths, University of London.
