As announced earlier,  we are expecting Graham Harman to join us at Thursday’s ANTHEM seminar. Dr Harman has also very kindly agreed to give us a talk, accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation, in order to summarise but also expand on the main points of the paper (“The Assemblage Theory of Society”) that he has shared with us. The title of his talk is “Assemblages According to Manuel DeLanda.” The main themes are realism, causation, emergence, assemblages, essence, DeLanda, Deleuze, Bhaskar, Latour, and Harman’s own (Heideggerian) object-orientated philosophy.

Graham Harman will speak about “Forceful and Non-Forceful Images” as part of the “Force: Images in Action” panel at the Pleasure and Persuasion of Lens-Based Media conference at Tate Britain in London on 28 November 2008. The conference will explore the politics of lens-based media art in contemporary media-culture. The schedule of the conference is available at the Tate Britain website, where tickets can also be booked.

Update (16-Nov-08): Urbanomic has a more complete list of speakers.
