- Abstract:
- During the last five decades, public, intellectual, and academic debates have created an increased awareness of so-called transhumanist discourses and social movements accompanied by a diverse body of theoretical works in philosophy, social sciences, and humanities which can broadly be described as posthumanist. Building on a three year long tradition (CSIA 2015–17) of interrogating what it means to be human in the 21st century from an interdisciplinary anthropological perspective, the Cologne Summer School of Interdisciplinary Anthropology 2019 relaunches under the title Beyond Humanism: Cyborgs – Animals – Data Swarms. It picks up where the last CSIA left by taking a closer look at what a trans- and posthumanist agenda actually implies and how it relates to classic understandings of what it means to be human. For general questions and inquiries please contact: interdisciplinary-anthropology(at)uni-koeln.de Interested PhD students and early postdocs are invited to send their application (CV, draft of project, and motivational letter) to niklas.grouls@uni-koeln.de before June, 16th 2019.
- Notes:
