This coincides with the exhibition Normal Flora: Bioart Responses to Modernising Medical Microbiology.
You are invited to apply for a place in the 2012 Session of the Johannesburg Workshop in Theory and Criticism (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa). The 2012 Session, Futures of Nature, is part of a drive within the humanities to reframe the disciplines and critical theory in light of the environmental emergency that is said to endanger most species on the planet, including our own.

It is also an era that blurs the distinction between human history and culture and the Earth’s natural history and material composition. Continue reading
