On September 15th CUNY will be hosting an event entitled “Speculative Realism: A Conversation With Jane Bennett, Levi Bryant, and Graham Harman”. I’m looking forward to this tremendously, especially since I haven’t met Bennett in person yet. It’s likely that there will be another event on the following day (or before), but that’s still in the planning stages right now.
As a funny aside, I had no idea I was participating in this event until one of the organizers contacted me and asked whether a particular time worked for me. In Deleuzian terms, I guess you could say I’m undergoing a sort of “becoming-object” where I’m just scheduled for things without being aware of it. I confess that’s a very nice place to be!

And here I would love to plug the event happening at CUNY’s Graduate Center [the Segal Theater] the following day, on Friday, September 16th:
Speculative Medievalisms: A Laboratory-Atelier II
This is a follow-up to this event hosted by King’s College London this past January:

And it will feature talks and responses by: Graham Harman, Patricia Clough, Jeffrey Cohen, Ben Woodard, Drew Daniel, Kellie Robertson, Anna Klosowska, and Kathleen Biddick [with myself and Nicola Masciandaro as masters-of-ceremony, as it were!].
