On Tuesday, October 7 at 2pm in the BCNM Commons (340 Moffitt), we will be discussing Cyborgs and the Post-Human, led by the intrepid KC Forcier.

We will discuss the increasing interrelationship between human beings and their digital objects.  What challenges does the cyborg pose to humanism?  What happens to the body as we increasingly become ‘post-human’?  How does the cyborg destabilize existing media?  And what is the role of the academic (especially in the Humanities) in understanding technologically mediated human beings?

As always, readings for the week can be found at our Townsend Site, and I will be sending them out to the NMWG mailing list as well.  We’re looking forward to a great discussion and we hope to see everyone there!
