Center
<p>We’re joined by Mohammad Salemy, organizer and facilitator of the New Centre for Research and Practice, fierce critic, social media (@inhumansofberlin) hyperstitionist, artist, personality, and force.</p> <p>This episode provides a lot of background into how the New Centre came to be. If you’re unfamiliar with TNC, it’s one of the main places <i>where theory happens</i> today. While we spend time on the New Centre, we also spend time on Mo and his legendary background, culminating in a discussion of his (iconic? infamous? lovable? hostile?) social media presence, its relationship to his political philosophy, the ‘developmental problem’ of post-colonial geopolitics, and on the necessity of breaking up the rust that accumulates around frozen gears.</p> <p>We also discuss his recent piece on &&&, Category Theory & Differential Identity, a project close to our heart in terms of understanding how identity is perhaps less constructed than it is mobilized, driven, and how it comes into contact with structures anterior to the strictly <i>human</i>.</p>
