About the conference
Conference Encountering Non-Humans: On Methodologies for the Post-Anthropocene aims to discuss methodological aspects of non-human, more-than-human and other others from interdisciplinary perspectives, ranging from (post-)humanities, social studies and live sciences research to the public sphere and artistic practice, while situating the research and practices to current socio-economical contexts and tackling the wicked problems of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
The conference will take place on 26-27 November 2022 in Brno, Czech Republic (or hybrid, if necessary). The first day will be dedicated to keynote speakers and selected participants from call for papers. On the second day, workshops will take place. Specific programme will be available along with registration by the end of October.
Under the term "non-human actors" we can imagine animals, artificial intelligence, bacteria, smart technologies, natural resources, and multiple others. The topic is reflected in academic discourse in the context of contemporary issues and future challenges such as climate collapse, the geopolitical crisis, or the Internet of Things.
