Ok… I know I said no more curating conferences … but I couldn’t pass up working with
@thefenserf and
@marialitvan and the theme / form of our convening.
AS PER SOME FORM: TO CONFER
A CONFERENCE
A conference is already a dramaturgical staging of discursive space, through which specific individuals and groups convene to compare+contrast senses of reality, analyze phenomena, and debate courses of action. This conference experimentally tests, critiques, and proposes ways of conferring, understanding the conference itself as a performance, a social intervention, and as a self-reflexive interrogation of its own dramaturgical structures. Around which principles shall we orient our forms of discourse? With whom shall we confer, and why? Dealing with issues of (mis)communication, institutional and disciplinary discourse ethics, epistemic trust, epistemicide, praxis, and solidarity, this conference stages sites and scenarios for and as the verb, to confer.
