Affective Bodies, Crowds, and Collectives, organised by ICAS:MP TM 7 module, in collaboration with CSDS and Sarai, on 21-23 March, 2024.
This international workshop was focused on site-specific contributions mapping 21st-century media, addressing material and environmental questions for media and political aesthetics. The paper brings theories of Philosophy and Psychology in critical conversation with each other around social ontology, media aesthetics, and political psychology in an attempt to forge new interdisciplinary frameworks for social action.
