Posthumanities International Network (PIN)
The Posthumanities International Network (PIN) is part of a growing effort to rework the role of the humanities and their relation to science, technology, the environment, and contemporary society, on the basis that our idea of the human is fundamentally reaching its limits and changing.
PIN workshop on Toxic Embodiment in 2017 with The Posthumanities Hub at Linköping University. Founding members of PIN: Rosi Braidotti (Utrecht University, NL), Matthew Fuller (Goldsmiths university of London, UK), and Cecilia Åsberg (LiU and KTH, SE)
The members meet up in themed workshop symposia across the host universities, with the aim to create flexible platforms for collaboration and research exchange on common media worlds and the algorithms we live by (digital humanities), the technobodies of health, life science and biomedicine (medical humanities), the more-than-human ecologies of climate change (environmental humanities) and the disciplinary challenges of doing posthuman humanities, and all their convergences within the posthumanities.
