CATASTROPHE PRACTICE (1/3)
- il y a 13 ans
Wednesday, February 2nd | 7:00pm | Round-table | The New School - John Tishman Auditorium
With: Jean-Pierre Dupuy, Jonathan Lear, Michel Lussault, Josh Neufeld
Hosted by: Mark Greif, Marco Roth
Co-presented with n+1
Catastrophes are the nightmare flipside to the record of human progress and achievement. The idea of disaster haunts how we think about our lives on every level, from global planning to individual relationships. Could planning more for catastrophes help eliminate/neutralize them, or do already we give them more attention than appropriate? Will we, no matter our precautions, forever be victims of the vagaries of nature and existence in all its complexity? If so, how may we learn to live and think with and within the expectation of catastrophe?
Inventor of the concept of “Enlightened Catastrophism” Jean- Pierre Dupuy, author of Radical Hope Jonathan Lear, geographer Michel Lussault, and creator of A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge Josh Neufeld will gather for a discussion on the political, social, individual, and literary imagination of catastrophe.
Tickets: Free
