SUMMARY:The Marks Left on Her - Di Lebowitz in conversation with Minna Salami **POSTPONED**
DESCRIPTION:**Due to unforeseen circumstances\, this event has now been postponed and will be part of our autumn events programme. More information to follow soon** \n\n\n\nIn The Marks Left on Her\, Di Lebowitz explores her experiences growing up with mixed heritage in her Hong Kongese family and attempting to navigate a world in which she is misunderstood and mistreated. What began as a means to self-examine after the trauma of a sexual assault grew almost organically into a collection of scribbled-down memories that had been burrowed deep within. The book opens up many important questions about mixed heritage\, parental relationships\, and why the world calls for so many women to be forged by pain.  \n\n\n\nDi will be in conversation with Minna Salami\, internationally-acclaimed feminist author and blogger\, to discuss their books and the importance of intersectional perspectives in feminist spaces and movements\, including the Me Too movement in which Di was inspired to share her story.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDi Lebowitz was born and raised in Hong Kong but spent the majority of her adult life in the UK. She is of both Jewish and Hong Kongese descent. The Marks Left on Her is her debut novel.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMultiple award-winning blogger and founder of MsAfropolitan\, Minna Salami is an author\, feminist theorist and lecturer. She is the author of the internationally acclaimed book Sensuous Knowledge: A Black Feminist Approach for Everyone\, a critical collection of essays exploring universal ideas with an Africa-centred\, decolonial and feminist perspective and translated into several languages. She is co-director of the feminist movement\, Activate\, and a Senior Research Associate at Perspectiva. She sits on the advisory board of the African Feminist Initiative at Pennsylvania State University and the editorial board of the Interdisciplinary Journal for the Study of the Sahel and the Emerge platform. \n\n\n\n\nBuy the book “The Marks Left on Her”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)\n				Insta\n			Like this:Like Loading...

SUMMARY:The Revenge of the Real: Politics for a Post-Pandemic World - Benjamin Bratton in conversation with Nick Srnicek [online event]
DESCRIPTION:Even when separated\, we are still enmeshed. Can the world govern itself differently? \n\n\n\nCOVID-19 exposed the pre-existing conditions of the current global crisis. Many Western states failed to protect their populations\, while others were able to suppress the virus only with sweeping social restrictions. In contrast\, many Asian countries were able to make much more precise interventions. Everywhere\, lockdown transformed everyday life\, introducing an epidemiological view of society based on sensing\, modeling\, and filtering. What lessons are to be learned? \n\n\n\nThe Revenge of the Real envisions a new positive biopolitics that recognizes that governance is literally a matter of life and death. We are grappling with multiple interconnected dilemmas—climate change\, pandemics\, the tensions between the individual and society—all of which have to be addressed on a planetary scale.   \n\n\n\nBratton argues that instead of thinking of biotechnologies as something imposed on society\, we must see them as essential to a politics of infrastructure\, knowledge\, and direct intervention. In this way\, we can build a society based on a new rationality of inclusion\, care\, and prevention. \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\nBenjamin Bratton is Professor of Visual Arts the University of California\, San Diego. He is Program Director of The Terraforming think-tank at Strelka Institute of Media\, Architecture and Design in Moscow. He is the author of several books\, including The Stack\, which develops a comprehensive political philosophy of planetary-scale computation. See bratton.info. \n\n\n\nNick Srnicek is a Lecturer in Digital Economy at King’s College London. He is the author of Platform Capitalism (Polity\, 2016)\, Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work (Verso\, 2015 with Alex Williams). With Helen Hester\, he is currently writing After Work: The Fight for Free Time (Verso\, 2022). \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT\n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event. We will use the email address used to register for this event.
