Our First Event: Zoographies
We are pleased to announce our first event, an intervention in and reading of Matthew Calarco’s Zoographies: The Question of the Animal from Heidegger to Derrida. We plan to cover a chapter a week, and the first post on the book will be up this coming Tuesday, 9-1-09. We encourage everyone to participate in comments, or emails. Calarco has been kind enough to agree to follow the discussion, and post a response at the end of the discussion.
Remember, if you want to email us just drop us a line at inhumanitiesblog@gmail.com

Fantastic – looking forward very much to this.
I’m planning on starting a reading group in Sydney focusing on animals in continental philosophy. Calarco’s book is a great place to start. We won’t start meeting until October, but I’m sure this blog will be a great resource for us, even if we are only able to engage retrospectively.

Certainly participate yourself while the event goes on. And maybe we can figure out some joint event to do after later down the road.
Regardless, good luck on your reading group! I am always excited when I hear about more people dedicated to exploring the question of the animal out there.

I’m looking forward to participating, Scu.
@ Jon: where in Sydney are you starting the reading group? I’d love to get some details
