The 'Pavis Lecture' for 2006 will be presented by
Professor Donna Haraway
‘When Species Meet’
Abstract
‘When Species Meet’ explores philosophical, historical, cultural,
personal, technoscientific, and biological aspects of animal-human
inter- and intra-actions. Dogs lead the way; but strong supporting roles
are reserved for mushrooms, animal people, squid, bacteria, whales with
videocams, and the rest of the kin group of post-cyborgs.
The talk works from paired fictional encounters of philosophers and
biologists (Jacques Derrida with Barbara Smuts; Deleuze and Guattari
with Lynn Margulis and Scott Gilbert) and concludes with Isabelle
Stengers's and my agility dog Cayenne's help to think through what
animal-human encounters propose in Whitehead's sense, or, how to become
more worldly in the contact zones of the posthumanities.
The lecture will take place
on
Wednesday 11th October 4.30 – 6.00 pm
at
Berrill Lecture Theatre Open University Campus
The Lecture will end with a discussion and will be followed by a
reception from 6.00pm - 7.00pm.
