Session 2 of Experiment and Experience: A Polyphonic Seminar on the Dao of Indeterminacy and Play
We hope you can join us to hear Julia Ng, our next speaker in the Polyphonic Seminar series on Indeterminacy organised by Cecile Malaspina and Sha Xin Wei on behalf of the Collège International de Philosophie and in partnership with the Department of French, King's Arts & Humanities, and the Department of Philosophy, UWE Philosophy Community.
Julia Ng is Reader in Critical Theory and founding Co-Director of the Centre for Philosophy and Critical Thought at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her work has explored the links between modern mathematics and political thought, modern German-Jewish philosophy, and theories of history and language in the 20th century, particularly in the work of Walter Benjamin, whose essay “Toward the Critique of Violence” she recently translated for a critical edition she co-edited (with Peter Fenves) for Stanford UP (2021). Funded by a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship, Julia is currently completing a book on Daoism and Capitalism based around Benjamin and Weber’s respective images of China ancient and modern, which has also received support from the Leverhulme Trust, the Center for Jewish History (NYC), and the British Society for the History of Philosophy.I
