Viral Utopias! London November 16

Viral Utopias! London November 16
November 16th - 7PM @ Limehouse Town Hall

Panics, plagues, and politics… countless times the death of politics, utopia, neoliberalism, and politics has been proclaimed… and just as many times the lumbering remains of our conceptual apparatuses dust themselves and trundle on again… mutating their movements in unfolding recombinatory patterns.

Come join us to celebrate the release of several new publications exploring this overlap between the utopian and the viral, the networked and the not-worked: Virality: Contagion Theory in the Age of Networks by Tony Sampson; Contract & Contagion: From Biopolitics to Oikonomia by Angela Mitropoulos; Open Utopia by Thomas More & Stephen Duncombe; and the "Becoming Impersonal" of Mute Magazine.
