The Posthuman, the Human, and the Non-Human: New Narratives and Critical Perspectives in Korean Studies
Friday, Nov 10 | 9:20AM - 4 PM | Doheny Memorial Library Room 240 

This conference is co-sponsored by USC Korean Heritage Library. 

The Korean Literature Association will be holding its annual conference on The Posthuman, the Human, and the Non-Human: New Narratives and Critical Perspectives in Korean Studies. The posthuman, the human, and the non-human have become frequently debated categories in recent decades in response to an intensifying global environmental crisis, the rapid development of artificial intelligence and biotechnology, and the rise of new ways of thinking about gender, race, and social justice. While these different stances are not always mutually cohesive or even compatible, posthumanism as a general field seeks to both define and reconfigure the relationship between the human and the non-human in all of its forms, which are understood as including the mechanical, the computational, the cybernetic, the biological, animals, plants, the geological realm, the environment, and more. 

This conference is co-sponsored by the Literature Translation Institute of Korea, EnviroLab at Claremont McKenna, USC Korean Heritage Library, USC Center for Feminist Research, USC East Asian Studies Center, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, and Graduates Studying East Asia
