Abstract
Die Workshop-Reihe geht von dem Befund aus, dass die theoretische Strömung des Poststrukturalismus zwar mit einer konstanten Reihe an Vertreter*innen assoziiert wird, es aber dennoch keinen Konsens über einen inhaltlichen Standpunkt gibt, der von all diesen Vertreter*innen geteilt wird. Das Label »Poststrukturalismus« funktioniert in pragmatischer Hinsicht, obwohl es inhaltlich unterbestimmt ist. Dies spiegelt sich aktuell auch in Debatten zu Post-Truth, in denen Kritiker*innen immer wieder die vermeintliche Verstrickung des Poststrukturalismus behaupten, ohne dabei dessen spezifische Kohärenz benennen zu können.
Ausgehend von dieser Situation unternimmt die Reihe den Versuch einer historischen und systematischen Situierung des Poststrukturalismus, die sich gleichzeitig als eine Art Resümee dieser theoretischen Strömung und als Befragung ihrer Aktualisierungspotenziale versteht.
Wenn die Workshop-Reihe also die, durchaus polemisierende, Frage stellt, was es denn nun gewesen sein wird, was man als Poststrukturalismus bezeichnete, soll das Futur II, das Jacques Derrida als Zeitform eines Sprechens über das Ereignis geprägt hat, sowohl zu einer Historisierung als auch Öffnung auf einen zukünftigen »Poststrukturalismus« einladen. Die Veranstaltung schließt an die Workshop-Reihe 2020/21 an.
Workshop: Three Ecologies with Erin Manning & Brian Massumi
Date
17.12.21, 6-8pm (CET), Zoom
We invite you cordially to this public session of the Reading Circle "Poststructuralism-Gender Theory-Psychoanalysis" on Guattari's The Three Ecologies with Erin Manning & Brian Massumi.

Information
In The Three Ecologies (1989) Félix Guattari outlined his unique concept of ecosophy, a connection of three ecological realms: environmental, social, mental ecology. He pleads for a transversal understanding of ecology and therefore develops an ethico-aesthetic program in times of Integrated World Capitalism (IWC).
In this public workshop of the Reading Circle (Research Group “PS-GT-PA”) we will discuss the text with Erin Manning and Brian Massumi.
Erin Manning (Concordia University) & Brian Massumi (University of Montreal) founded the 3ecologies Project, an autonomous organization for research-creation (following the SenseLab) that explores the active relations between art, philosophy and politics.
The Reading Circle was formed by members of the Research Group "Poststructuralism-Gender Theory-Psychoanalysis" early 2021 under the guidance of Arno Böhler and meets monthly to discuss texts that are in the fields of interest of the researchers. Readings until now were Barad, Simondon, Deleuze/Guattari, Malabou, Althusser, Chakrabarty, Soka. Since October 2021 the new format of the Reading Circle includes public workshops with leading experts on the discussed topics.
