Post-Trans-Metahumanist Exchanges in Times of COVID-19 & the 10th Anniversary of the Metahumanist Manifesto
Featuring: Stelarc, James Hughes, Leo Igwe, Sang Wook Yi, Francesca Ferrando, Carmel Veisman, Yvonne Förster, Keoma Ferreira, Jaime del Val, Anna Markopoulou, Evi Sampanikou, Stefan Lorenz Sorgner, Jan Stasienko.
The 1st Beyond Humanism Forum is a metaglobal event with leading scholars, artists, and intellectuals from 5 continents (Australia, Africa, Asia, South and North America and Europe) and 11 countries (Nigeria, Brazil, South Korea, Australia, USA, Israel, Greece, Spain, Italy, Germany, Poland), who will talk about the impact of the pandemic crisis from a diversity of Post-Trans-Metahumanist perspectives, the Metahumanist Manifesto’s 10th anniversary, and further issues of contemporary relevance.
Critical exchanges across posthumanist, metahumanist and transhumanist approaches could provide a fruitful and urgent arena of debate around the challenges emerging, which concern fundamental rights and freedoms, privacy, the role of the body and a deep transformation of humanity and the planet amongst many others.
You can access the live stream via the Youtube channel “Posthumans go viral”, and participate in discussions using the chat function available:

· Are the mass media narratives concerning the pandemic mainly humanistic ones?
· Is transhumanism radically affirming itself through the pandemic, given the fact that technology corporations and the reliance upon their technologies are affirming themselves in unprecedented manner?
· What is the place for a critical posthumanistic chance for an awareness of our entanglement with others and the planet, vulnerability and alignments for a paradigm shift that exceeds humanism?
· What can metahumanism provide in terms of a deeper insight into embodied practices for a change in sensitivity?
2. Surveillance, control and transhumanism
· Is it justified to increase surveillance for the sake of health? Which are the options? Privacy vs. freedom. Can they be separated?
· Ethics of algorithms
· Autonomous algorithms and big data ethics
· Use of emotions by power
· What is the relationship between sovereign necropolitics (administration of death), disciplinary biopolitics (enclosures and optimization of life), and control ontopolitics (digital preemption) in the pandemic and (how) are all of them being reinforced?
3. Planetary health, entangled becomings and critical posthumanism
· How to promote plurality, justice and a planetary health in times of the pandemic.
· Environmental Ethics and the climate crisis. The environmental parameter.
· Awareness of entanglement with each other and the planet, and what to do about it.
· Evolution as cooperation and viruses as foundational of biodiversity.
· Pandemic outbreak and environmental disruption.
4. Embodied experience and the metahumanistic turn
· How do digital interfaces in confinement affect embodied experiences, affects or cognition?
· Embodied cognitive approaches to how digital interfaces orient experience.
· How to have richer embodiments in time of social distance.
5. Meta-relating in times of COVID-19 (conferencing, working, learning, consuming, prosuming, from home)
· How to create an online field, an embodied online event, which one travels to?
· What does an online event miss with regard to a physical one and what to do about it?
· Can one do critical zooming? Or how to ontohack distant relations.
6. Metahumanist Manifesto – 10th anniversary
· 10 paragraphs – workshops, performances, alternative modes of thought, movement and perception – www.metahumanism.net
7. Metaglobal dialogues
· Both the pandemic, the technological revolution and posthuman discourses are evolving differently in diverse regions of the world. These differences expose numerous inequalities inherited from colonialism but also positive senses of diversity and plurality. With participants from Australia, Africa, Asia, South and North America and Europe we would like to account for both the problematic ways in which these processes propagate and the positive variations happening across regions whose division is inherited from a colonial past that can perhaps be redefined towards more plural metaglobal futures.
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BODIES IN THE CLIMATE CHANGE ERA (CALL FOR PAPERS) Konkuk University, Seoul, SOUTH KOREA Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, SOUTH KOREA 17-18 April 2020
This two-day conference (hosted by Konkuk University, Sungkyunkwan University, and Sichuan University) seeks to address theorizing about the body in the era of climate change. Climate change has had increasingly intimate corporeal, and the widening gap between the rich and the poor has only exacerbated these matters, as has the global rise in right-wing extremism. And while advances in genetic research offer startling rewards of overcoming human vulnerability, they also prompt concern about corporeal borders and boundaries—physical and ethical.
New materialist theories about agency and matter have led to productive analyses of intersections among gender, race, food, sexuality, class, and species as they relate with corporeal issues and climate change. What this Forum Kritika seeks are theoretical understandings of those intersections in the Climate Change Era.
— How can we discuss from literary works and mass media the ways in which various natural materials threaten human corporeal constitution? What, for instance, are the microbial threats we face as the organisms our vaccines and antibiotics control become immune? What are the legitimacy and implications of body upgrading prosthetics, technological body modifications, organ transplants, including the transhumanist desire for homo deus? What are the changing status of the body in constructing human identity, subjectivity, citizenship, and collectivity? What is the ethical care in this critical age of the Anthropocene?
— What are the relationships between violence (ecological, cybernetic, psychological, physical, symbolic, and so on) and the imagined integrity/dis-integration of the body as both an ontological and material space, and how are these relationships impacted by climate change?
— How can we theorize about the ways in which our phobias (ecophobia, transphobia, germophobia, homophobia, and so on) compromise modalities of the production and transformations of bodies?
— How can we theorize about corporeality in body upgrading and modification?
— How important are matters about food and why?
— What can we gain from literary and cultural investigations of non-human corporeality?
Submissions must address climate change in some way and may include but are not restricted to the following topics:
•corporeal borders and boundaries, visible and imagined
•the migrating body
•multicultural and multiracial bodies
•trauma, violence, or terror
•queer and transgender citizenship
•monstrous bodies
•disability studies
•body art (implants, painting, piercings, tattoos, scarification, sculpting, shaping) and body modifications
•vegan studies, food, and meat
•coloniality, postcoloniality, and tribal sovereignty
•cyborg bodies, post- and transhumanism, and ecocriticism
•biopolitics and medical engineering of reproduction, sexual identity, and gender
•eco-feminism
•#metoo, sexual harassment, gendered audiences
Please send abstracts of no more than 250 words (along with a biographical note of the same length) to Dr. Jonggab Kim (jonggab@konkuk.ac.kr) and Dr. Simon C. Estok (estok@skku.edu) by 01 February 2020. Selected essays will be published in a Special Issue of Kritika Kultura in August 2021.
