The purpose of the Colloquium arises from the need for Posthumanism to become a Philosophy of Life capable of facing the challenges of the XXI century on an individual, social, and planetary level.
​
This Colloquium will be experiential, offering not only academic debates and conferences but also activities held in local places of interest: its approach will be both global and local.

Modalities

​Sessions will be held in two formats:
90-minute panel sessions with five participants and a moderator.
  • These panels will address both the issues presented in the CFP and other issues, shared with participants in advance.
  • Participants will have the opportunity to give a brief presentation on their paper's topic (5 minutes each); they will then be part of the moderated debate (approximately 1 hour).
  • All participants will have the same time to respond to questions during the moderated debate.

Workshops, labs, and practical seminars.
  • Participants may propose an activity lasting between 15 and 30 minutes.
  • Please note that in this workshop format, the frontal talk (when necessary) should be very brief (around 5 minutes), and the group activity should follow.
  • Please note that materials must be provided by the workshop organizers.

In your abstract, specify if you wish to participate in a panel (1.) or present a workshop (2.)

Two forms will be worked on:
  • Panel sessions of four or five people and one person serving as moderator. The questions posed in the CFP will be addressed.
  • Labs and practical seminars. A working group that reflects and generates an alternative proposal to what would be done in an exhibition.
