the divo institute probly presents Vít Bohal
Over the last decade, the xeno has appeared as a fundamental concept for many aesthetic and cultural projects – xenofeminism, xenopoetics, Xenoslavia, Xenotopias… The presentation aims to chart a trajectory for the xeno and identify some of its contemporary cultural significance. What are the politics of the alien, and how to account for the xeno’s ever accelerating drive towards the inhuman?
Vít Bohal is currently a PhD candidate at the Center for Critical and Cultural Theory at Charles University Prague. His dissertation focuses on Xenofeminism and he is working towards formulating a ‘critical xenology’ which analyzes the conception of xeno within an infrastructural analysis of otherness. His work focuses mainly on contemporary feminist theory, accelerationism, speculative realism, post-digitality and philosophy of technology. He is member of the Prague-based Diffractions Collective.
