[ecrea] Re-Configuring the Immune System - 14th November - Goldsmiths College

We would like to invite you to the second event of the Radical Media 
Forum - Re-Configuring the Immune System: Bodies, Words and Worlds that 
will take place on Thursday 14th of November, at Goldsmiths, University 
of London, RHB Cinema.

This event attempts to open up new pathways of critical engagement at 
the intersections of sciences, technology and humanities by taking the 
immune system as the bridging entity, concept, and tool. Our aim is to 
create a transitory platform, in the form of a panel of discussions, in 
which the biological body, with its associated discourses and practices 
of immunity, can coalesce with the digital, artistic, and industrial 
bodies in order to enable a mediated insight of ‘bodies-words-worlds’ 
within the topic of the immune system.
Invited Speakers:

Professor Lucy Suchman (Lancaster University, UK): Figuring the Other 
within the Military-Entertainment System.

Professor Margit Schildrick (Linkoping University, Sweden): Chimerism 
and the Immune System: Demythologising Self/Other Distinctions.

Dr. Alex McLean (Leeds University, UK): Live Coding: Stepping into 
Software.

Mr. Amir Carmi (Comsecure LTD, Israel): Malware: Accelerated Evolution.

You can read all their abstracts in the link of the event (above).

After each event we will send an open call for our on-line platform 
where we will curate alternative forms of academic knowledge production. 
This means we invite scholars to contribute a very wide range of ways of 
critiquing through images, clips, comics, sound etc.

The Radical Media Forum also has Facebook and Twitter accounts: 
@RMF_Goldsmiths.

This event is organised by Andrea Nunez Casal and Elinor Carmi.

Please feel free to contact us if you have questions or comments: 
(e.carmi /at/ gold.ac.uk)/(eu901ac /at/ gold.ac.uk).

We look forward to seeing you in our event(s) and hope to receive 
contributions from you as well!
All the best,
Elinor Carmi,
PhD Candidate,
Department of Media & Communications,
Goldsmiths College, University of London.
