Political Concepts: Discussion | Masako Fidler & Thomas Schestag

Описание: The 2022 installment of the Political Concepts conference brings together Brown and RISD scholars from a variety of fields to revise, deconstruct, or create concepts in the effort to uncover or recover their political import. These concepts respond to our recent historical experience and are meant to meet the challenges of an ominously uncertain future. What can this period teach us about our society and institutions, “us,” “them,” the planet, the historical present we share, and the future of this sharing?
