This week, several of our team members are taking part in the 47th edition of the AEDEAN Conference, held at Universidad Pablo de Olavide (Sevilla).

Our predoctoral researcher Laura Larrodera delivered the paper “I Defy You, Time! The Epistolary as a Medium of Queer Posthuman Resistance in Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone’s This Is How You Lose The Time War”.
In the critical theory panel, Miriam Fernández-Santiago delivered the paper “The Neo-Apollonian. A Posthuman Aesthetics for the Early 21st Century”.
Our predoctoral researcher Lucía Bennet delivered the paper “Intersecting Critical Posthumanism and Post-Truth: Human Identity in the Digital Era”.
Our predoctoral researcher Laura García Soria delivered the paper “Earth as Home: Terraforming Earth and the crisis of human identity”.

We’ve had a very thought-provoking week in Sevilla! It’s been a pleasure to share the research we’re conducting in our group and to get to learn from our colleagues from all over Spain.
See you in #AEDEAN48!
