Next Meeting: Laughter as ‘shattered articulation’
We have a change of date and venue for the next meeting - now on the 24th April, Tuesday, 6pm in the PG room (room 417) at the very top of stair J in Gordon Square.Our April meeting takes its theme from Walter Benjamin’s sentiment in the Arcades project: ‘Laughter is shattered articulation.’ This is Emma’s brainchild, and she's gone for a quite experimental piece of theory for us to read – I look forward to reading what you guys choose to post below for our primary texts.I’ve picked a…See More

next meeting: the fragmented text in all its guises....

Hola, Beatrice! I really liked your presentation last week! See you in tomorrow´s class :)
Thanks Beatrice, I found your presentation so interesting - hadn't realised we had so many research interests in common. Would definitely love to meet up for a chat some time, I reckon we should set up some kind of body reading group too - there must be other people about with similar ideas! Oooh and thanks for the Gomel article, hadn't seen that one before!
