The philosopher Peter Sloterdijk’s Sphere Trilogy considers Bubbles, Globes, and Foam as organic models for biopolitics. Special guest Christian Sorace, Lecturer in Global China at the University of Cambridge, joins InterCcECT to present a critical exploration of this project, juxtaposing it to spherical cultural practices in Mongolia to show its limits and political obscenity while also probing the possibility of outlining communism within a biopolitical framework.
We’ll read a pre-circulated chapter and an excerpt from The Secret History of the Mongols and meet Christian for discussion at UIC, University Hall (601 S Morgan) room 1850 (18th Floor) Thursday 21 September, 4pm.
RSVP for the readings, and as always, contact us to propose events.
