'Across the world, humans perceive life as a force that exerts its influence over living beings, driving processes such as growth, reproduction, aging, and death. In response, they develop techniques to domesticate living organisms, attempt to create artificial life forms, and establish social structures to interact with them. This talk, while introducing the field of the anthropology of life, will explore how these interactions with living beings and the forces of life are central to the practices of bioart.'
Dr. Perig Pitrou is Permanent Research Director, CNRS, Maison Française d’Oxford, Director of the team “Anthropology of Life”, Collège de France, PSL University.
The next metaPhorest seminar on February 20 will welcome Dr. Perig Pitrou (CNRS, Collège de France), a cultural anthropologist from France! Dr. Pitrou has conducted anthropological and philosophical research on “complicated relationship between various living organisms and humankind” and has worked extensively with practitioners of bioart and biodesign. On the opportunity of his visit to Japan to talk at a philosophical conference in Kyoto, he will kindly visit us to give this talk. He is a very friendly person and we are sure you will hear interesting discussions, so please come. The lecture will be given in English, and simultaneous interpretation will not be available, but questions in Japanese will be accepted.
