Event: Byung-Chul Han and Contemporary Culture online symposium
Event dates: 19th March 2027
This symposium puts Byung-Chul Han’s concepts – burnout, psychopolitics, the infocracy, non-things, the crisis of narration – to work as diagnostic tools on contemporary cultural objects, texts and practices. We welcome papers across the humanities and social sciences, including literary, cultural, media, film, games, theology, art and design studies.
Keynote: Professor Steven Knepper, co-author of Byung-Chul Han (Polity, 2024).
Papers: 15 minutes, in English. Publication planned. Free to attend.
