Smell is the sense the least available to medium, mediation, and remediation, and the most susceptible to association with the natural, the animal, the disgusting. For these and other reasons, the theory and art of smell generate great friction in philosophy, political-economy, and psychoanalysis. An exciting new book palpates these frictions and percusses insights about truth, language, and sexuality. In a very special InterCcECT dialogue, Dr. Simon Hajdini discusses What’s That Smell with Dr. William Mazzarella, Join us at 4pm Tuesday 12 November, UIC University Hall Room 2028 (601 S Morgan St, 20th floor; Blue Line: UIC Halsted).
