Course program
Course aims at shedding light on philosophical process of re-thinking body and communication lato sensu as pushed forward by "Post-Humanistic constellation" -among others Roberto Marchesini and Rosi Braidotti's positions will be analyzed specifically-. Therefore, as a general "conceptual catalyst" in this process of re-thinking body and communication, Michel Serres' thought will be employed.
