Fictions of Social Space in Late Capitalism / CFP for PAMLA Conference (20-23rd November, San Francisco)
This seminar uses fiction across media to host a dialogue between critical space theory and contemporary frameworks of political relationality. We look for the crossroads of intersectional politics, the empty lots where to construct "a people," the putrid, fertile soils of post-human entanglements. Demolishers against all future: you are also welcome.
We produce the space of sociality, and, in return, space shapes social reproduction (Henri Lefebvre). This dialectic is traversed by the blueprint of form as "the precondition of possible space" (Anna Kornbluh). Narrative fiction -literary, filmic, graphic- objectifies those forms and configures new ones, reworking the very entanglement of space and society.
