Dear All,
this looks fascinating, and I'm very sorry I can't make it. Sorry for

SYMPOSIUM - 'RE-IMAGINING OUR SOCIOLOGICAL CONTEMPORANEITY: WHAT IS THE
AGE OF RE-EMBODIMENTS?'.
16th July 2010: BSA Meeting Group, Suite 2, Fulham, London.
In this one-day event, speakers will engage in a preliminary attempt to
define the theoretical implications of the 'Age of Re-embodiment'.
Re-embodiment is described as a global social phenomenon. It is
considered as a popular and organized response against the excesses of
Wester(nized) modernity and postmodernity, which are considered to be
part of the colonial legacy. They are conspicuously epitomized in the
international climate change regime. Re-Embodiment seeks to cut across
the social and natural sciences and reassembles both. It builds on
previous work on embodiment theory from varied fields such as
20th-century philosophy, environmental sociology, ecofeminism, political
economy, ethno-ecology and human geography. Re-embodiment theory equally
builds upon classical and post-structuralist social theory and
philosophy. More...
