Conference : Coming to terms with technology
"Coming to terms with technology: thinking with / in / through Hannah Arendt", Vrije Universiteit Brussels, finanziert durch Vrije Universiteit Brussels und Universiteit Antwerpen
This conference seeks to contribute to this growing interest by exploring how specific technological developments have influenced Arendt’s thinking and shaped the content of her work. In light of the accelerating pace of 21st-century technological advancements, Arendt’s work offers a compelling example of how one can think (politically) with and through technology. Accordingly, the aim of this gathering is not only to analyze the relationship between Arendt and technology but also to conduct Arendtian thinking exercises on contemporary technological phenomena and to explore their influence on our active and mental lives.
