*Dear all,*
*
Please find attached the Call for Participants for the third Pelion
Summer Lab for Cultural Theory and Experimental Humanities(PSL), 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 10-day program (August 21-August 31, 2019) will convene an
interdisciplinary group of MA students, doctoral candidates, recent
PhDs, early career scholars and, in special cases, advanced
undergraduate students from fields such as anthropology, history,
sociology, arts, political philosophy, gender studies, literature,
cultural studies, and communication and new media studies.
This year’s theme - Data & Power- takes on the critical issue of how the
production, mining, and manipulation of data through algorithmic
procedures has emerged as an increasingly dominant mode of political
regulation, capitalist exploitation, identity formation, cultural
expression and knowledge generation. *The lab will consist of three
jointly-taught, faculty-led seminars on Virality and Memeification:
Affective Networks in the Dataverse (Mitsos Bilalis, Penelope
Papailias), Platform Capitalism(Athina Karatzogianni, Petros Petridis),
Algorithmic Sociality (Robert Seyfert, Sandra Robinson) and an
experimental methodological workshop to create a Serious Gameto be
played in a public event on the last day of the lab; plus screenings,
local performances, hikes and other special events. *
