Please find attached the Call for Participants for the fourth Pelion
Summer Lab for Cultural Theory and Experimental Humanities (PSL), an
initiative of the Department of History, Archaeology and Social
Anthropology and the Laboratory of Social Anthropology of the
University of Thessaly in Volos, Greece, with the support of the
Netherlands Institute at Athens.
The aim of this 10-day program (June 29-July 9, 2020) is to convene
young researchers and cultural producers from fields such as
anthropology, history, sociology, arts, political philosophy, gender
studies, literature, cultural studies, and new media studies for a
period of intensive exchange regarding the pressing questions of our
research and our worlds.
This year’s theme – Dead Bodies Matter – will address the
materialities, spatialities, temporalities, technologies and modes of
(re)presentation through which the contested dead remain, haunt and
impact critical contemporary debates over citizenship, race, kinship,
gender, sexuality, national/religious identity, multifarious forms of
violence (postcolonial, gendered, species-based, environmental), the
place of affect in politics, and many other subjects.
