We are happy to announce that this summer we will be hosting the 3rd Pelion Summer Lab for Cultural Theory and Experimental Humanities (PSL) (August 21-August 31, 2019), an initiative of the Department of History, Archaeology and Social Anthropology and the Laboratory of Social Anthropology of the University of Thessaly in Volos, Greece.
This year’s theme Data & Power takes on the critical issue of how the production, tracking, mining, manipulation, sorting and categorization of data through algorithmic procedures has emerged as an increasingly dominant mode of political regulation, capitalist exploitation, identity formation, cultural expression and knowledge generation.
This year we decided to shift the dates of the PSL to the end of the summer because we found that in our first two labs, we were all too burned at the close of the academic year to be fully present academically speaking. By the end of August, we reckon most of us will have rested -- and be restless, itching to get ‘back to school’ -- and thus the lab will serve as an ideal jump start for the new academic year. We have also moved to yet another location - the cosmopolitan village of Makrinitsa, with its romantic restaurants, cafes and bars, architectural gems and, of course, touristic kitsch. Makrinitsa is not an 'undiscovered village' -- but there is a reason you will easily discover why such a village developed as tourist destination to begin with.
The Pelion Summer Lab is non-profit and there is no tuition. Accepted participants will only be responsible for a 100E administrative fee, payable to the Research Committee of the University of Thessaly. This fee must be paid in advance in order to reserve a spot in the program.
