Double Bill: Mutant Infiltrations: Exercises of an Almost Body

Next Wednesday, October 29, 14:00 ET/20:00 CET, we invite you to our next Public Program Double Bill titled “Mutant Infiltrations: Exercises of an Almost Body" For our second Double Bill lecture of this season, Márin Haela Villas Boas and Clarice Pelotas Rios will explore instances of deliberate assaults of language on language, of biological proliferation and linguistic ebullience to engage with the theme of transitioning. Through their poetic practice and philosophical dialogues with authors such as Paul B. Preciado, Marquis de Sade, Sigmund Freud, and Fred Moten, both speakers problematize mutation and transformation as strategies to implode the known, the knowable, and the unknown of sexual and gender normativity. Relying on insights from psychoanalysis and contemporary Marxism, Márin Haela Villas Boas affirms the primacy of reconfiguration. In her poetic and philosophical work, the creation of a body, organism, or poetic expression is an act of distressed yet unremitting recomposition. Marked by material dependencies, sex, language, memory, and experience, this process becomes a site of radical readjustment. In poetic territory, language itself grows dazzlingly inordinate, ultimately refusing the codes of heterosexual normativity. Clarice Pelotas Rios examines mutative and infectious logics of perpetuation and transition. From literature to the delirious plain of biology, mutant cells remodel into atypical formations, guided by unsettling logics and ungraspable purposes. Textual organisms cease to be mere representations and become actions, affirmative moments forged in the unstable fissure between body and word, language and biology. Clarice Pelotas Rios is a philosophy student at the University of Brasília and a Critical Philosophy student at The New Centre for Research & Practice. Her research focuses on libidinal materialism, accelerationism, and queer theory. She is currently developing the research project “Between Heroin Addicts, Homosexuals, Hemophiliacs, Prostitutes, and Haitians: Towards the Libidinal Economy of Virology,” supervised by Shajara Bensusan. Márin Haela Villas Boas is a trans lesbian writer interested in psychoanalysis and art critique, currently attending the Philosophy undergraduate program at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. Her work sits at the intersection of the somatic, the transcendental, and the political, contributing to the collective reimagination of queer struggle in our times. Georgiana Cojocaru is a writer, researcher, and editor based in Lund, Sweden, originally from Romania. She is the creator of Morphing Minds Monastery, an initiative to investigate the pain and thrust of knowledge in all their guises. Without encouraging shallow attempts at inter-, trans-, or para-disciplinarity, she advocates for controlled encounters between literature, philosophy, and science to refine their methods, tools, and potentialities. Her investigations cover the poetics and epistolary traces of Franz Kafka, Clarice Lispector, Antonin Artaud, Gherasim Luca, and Angela Marinescu. She has served as managing editor of Revista ARTA and as a research assistant at the Institute of Network Cultures in Amsterdam. She is currently a researcher at The New Centre for Research & Practice in Transdisciplinary Studies. ---------------- Join this channel Membership to get access to the entire video archives of past and present Seminars:    / @newcentre   Join this channel’s membership to gain access to the complete archives of past and present seminars. https://thenewcentre.org/membership/m... #TheNewCentre #Transdisciplinary #CertificatePrograms #TNC
