Please join us on Wednesday, April 5, 6-8 pm, as
Associate Professor Sofya Khagi presents:

“Posthuman Scenarios in Victor Pelevin”

This talk knits together a number of Pelevin’s works from the 1990s to the present, using the prism of posthumanism. It analyzes Pelevin’s representation of the human and the social collective a) in biomorphic and zoomorphic terms b) in terms of machinery. Both scenarios, animalistic and mechanistic, allow the writer to explore his core problematic—that of (un)freedom in contemporaneity.
